Blow It Up

That being said, here are a few moves that would return the value that the Bengals need:

1.  I hate it, but if the rumors of the Bengals being able to get a first rounder for AJ Green, you have to do it.
2.  Carlos Dunlap.  There are a few teams that need a good pass rusher.  He could be a nice addition for a team looking for a pass rusher.
3.  Geno Atkins.  You don't hear much about him, but if you could get a late first/2nd rounder, have at it.

Another idea that may make sense:

Trent Williams for AJ Green straight up. Both in their 30s, Williams wants out and Washington could use a guy like AJ for Haskins development.

1. Yes. You do.
2. 2nd rounder or higher, then yes. Maybe a 3rd if it's going to be a high 3rd. CD can still play.
3. Absolutely.

Trent for AJ? No. Why? Why take on one aging asset for another if you're ostensibly rebuilding? Further, the wear on the tires of a 320+ LB offensive lineman is a lot worse than a guy like AJ, even though AJ's already breaking down.
