Hunt was a 3-4 DE who fit better with the Colts, but he still just had one decent season.  He did not deserve any more playing time with the 
Bengals because of the other players we had at DE.

Skuta, Hamilton, and Ogbuehi were never any better than average for a season or two with another team.

McDonald is probably thre only player who was actually a good player we let walk.

But compare that to the what the Bengals got out of guys who had been written off by their previous teams like Cedric Benson, Reggie Nelson, Richie Braham, Wallace Gilberry, Bobbie Williams, Kyle Cook, Terence Newman, and Dhani Jones

We didn't let him walk.

We traded him for Kelly Jennings when we were in need for CB depth and had a glut of DT depth.
