Some of them will have to be allowed to walk and take the gamble on some draft picks backfilling them.

Dax Hill was a 1st rounder. He's getting his 1 year of grooming this year.
Gotta slot him in as the starter next year and move on from Bates or Bell.

While Hurst has been solid, I think he'd a good candidate to be replaced by an early-round draft pick. Or at least a draft pick to take Sample's TE2 spot.

As for Apple, Bengals drafted CTB to be his eventual replacement as the starter opposite Awuzie. At least that's how I have always viewed it.
If Apple does get retained, it should be for cheap like it was this year.

Moving on from Mixon should help open up $7 mill in cap if the Bengals need that extra cap. It might be needed to retain some of these other guys and/or sign a good starter at another position.

I don't think I'm going to far out on a limb to say this is likely Mixon's last season in stripes.
