I think this team definitely needs a rebuild.
But I don't think the team is unsalvageable.
We have some aging stars that are likely better off being traded, such as Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap, AJ Green and potentially Andy Dalton. They will not be elite by the time we are competitive again. May as well get some value for them.
If you get a few day 1 and day 2 picks out of those 4, then you can begin the rebuild this offseason. And that rebuild will be set with a foundation of Joe Mixon, Tyler Boyd, Jonah Williams, Trey Hopkins, Sam Hubbard, Carl Lawson, William Jackson, Jessie Bates and Andrew Billings.
This team has talent. They just have too many holes to fix in time for our veterans to get a realistic shot at competing again. So you ship them off and start over.
Such is life in professional sports. It's a cycle with every team, unless you have a hall of fame QB that plays for 18+ years or something.
