Lots of players could have been traded/released that were out of their prime but were kept, considerably handicapping our roster.

Atkins, Dunlap, Ross, Green, Eifert etc.


It is easy for fans to make these calls with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.  But if the Bengals had gotten rid of Dunlap when he had just turned 30 and had 9 sacks and 21 QB hits the fan base would have revolted.  Same with Atkins when he just turned 31 and was selected to his 5th straight Pro Bowl.

If you don't believe me then just look at how everyone reacted when we let Whitworth walk in free agency when he was 36.
