Needed to hold onto, in this order
Bates
Perine
Reader
Bell
Apple (and yes his antics pissed me off)

Perine took less money with the Broncos for the opportunity to be a starter.  He was not going to start here over Mixon.

Bell's play has fallen off massively in the last 2 seasons.  Letting him go was the correct decision.  Making him a starter here for as long as we did last season was a mistake.

Apple has played in 14 games in the last 2 seasons.  He couldn't even crack the 53 man roster this season until Jan.  For every brilliant play, he has 2 negative ones.  It was not a mistake to move on from him.

Bates and Reader should still be Bengals
