Geno Atkins Not on the block

[Whatever]

To me it's a foregone conclusion that he's done and will be released in the offseason, and that the team just doesn't want to trade him feeling like the return won't justify the slight amount of help he can give us at a depleted position down the stretch of this year. I don't buy this "easing him in" garbage. Not when they sign a dude off the street who's playing massively more snaps.

I'd absolutely trade him if for no other reason than to clear cap room to roll over to next year. He's part of Marvin's core, not the core that will take us to playoff contention in the future. Cut ties asap. I know they won't do this, but I'd honestly rather than trade Geno for like a 7 and trade for Quinnen Williams. Build the new core now. And I say that as someone who's message board name sake is based on Geno. He's one of my favorite Bengals of all time.

The rumor is that Geno's shoulder needs surgery, but he agreed to put it off until after the season and play limited snaps this year.  If that's the case, he can't pass a physical to facilitate a trade.  However, at this point, the best move would be for him to go under the knife now and get a jump on his rehab.  We're toast this year.
