According to me
Stay
Green ( as long as there commit to keeping past this season) a premiere WR and can help the new young QB.
Atkins- Still a top 3T; has three seasons left on his deal
Dunlap- a Dependable player who is also an excellent leader. Underrated player by the fan base. Has two seasons left on his contract after this season.

Has to Go
Andrew Billings-  were well in place at Nose Tackle in the future with Glasgow, Wren, and Topu. Should fetch us between a late 3rd-5th Rd.
Glenn- he doesn't want to be here and he plays a premiere position. 3rd to 4th RD compensation.
Eifert- won't be here next season & We don't play him. Plus who knows when he would get hurt. Compensation 6th to 7th RD pick.

How do you know they are just as good? Topu and Glasgow scored 15+ points lower than him and they are older. Topu  is a FA after the season and Glasgow only has one year left. 

Ironically enough acting like you can just jettison "not premium positions" and replace them with whoeever is what sunk our O line and to an extent our D line post Peko.

I'd hate to see Billings gone. He was a favorite of mine when drafted and he's performing best out of all the NTs. But I get it if it happens.

I agree with trading away Eifert and Glenn.

Should all go.  Management has to think of the future they have to have a long-term perspective that they want to turn things around.

Billings? We probably won't get offered anything of value as he's not a pass rusher. May as well keep him and try to retain him. He's young enough for a rebuild.

Don't look for any movement from the #Bengals on any of their "key guys" by the trade deadline Tuesday, at this time. I'm told Cincinnati would still like to evaluate their roster when they get healthier after their bye this week.

I don't disagree that Billings is a good player but they clearly are prepared for him moving on. The only question is do we wait a year to get compensation without using free agency or trade him now and use free agency.
