Would you rather have a.) Geno Atkins or b.) a 3rd round pick and 14 mil to spend elsewhere?
Would rather have a.) Carlos Dunlap or b.) a 4th round pick and 11 mil to spend elsewhere
If the Bengals were to move a bunch of these guys they could stockpile a handful of picks and have 40 mil plus extra to spend in free agency. That buys a lot of quality starters. You can immediately fill glaring weaknesses (LBers) and it gives you a lot of flexibility in your rebuild.
I get it. I just think it will be very hard to find a player as good as Geno with a third round pick. Same for Dunlap with a fourth. So we end up with more money but also more holes to fill.
If these guys were 33-35 then I can see your point, but Dunlap is just 30 and Atkins 31. I don't see them as being used up yet.
