Too nostalgic?

Posts about bringing back past their prime players when they know they will never be what they once were only magnifies the dilemma the team faces when trying to reinvent themselves. While veteran presence is a positive thing you can't sacrifice replacing players who are the future. Whit, Burfict, Dalton and even AJ are not the future of the franchise. Do you re-sign any of them when you could get a better younger FA player? The remake of the team is stunted when we ignore the obvious.

Whit is different IMO. While he did decline at OT last year, a conversion to OG could elongate his career, and he'd probably be better at LG than anyone else the Bengals have on staff right now.

With that said, I understand your point in the overall thought process of sticking with what you know vs traveling into the unknown with new players.

Personally, I'm fine with moving on from all of Dalton, Green, Eifert, Glenn, and Kirkpatrick, but that's just me. I'd like to see the Bengals in the AFC Championship in my adult life and I don't think any of those guys will help get the team there.
