Hopkins would likely be released in that scenario. As Karras would be Back up C, and Carman back up LG.
Then only thing is find a 1-2 year placeholding vet and draft/develop a RT.
I think Tretter would be a fit and an upgrade over Hopkins. I think he'll be signed by a team for about $8M season. I'd guess 3yrs/$24M. If the Bengals were to release Hopkins that saves almost $6M; effectively Tretter would cost $2M more than what they are already paying to upgrade center.
I hope they are considering it.
