I know I shouldn't reply to you because you're just a mega-troll, but I can't resist this time.

#1. Without Adam Jones, your #1 CB is Dre Kirkpatrick. That means next year you'd see Dre Kirkpatrick vs Antonio Brown x2, Steve Smith x2, DeSean Jackson, Brandon Marshall, Dez Bryant, Odell Beckham Jr, Sammy Watkins, and Julian Edelman. That sounds like the ugliest spectacle I have ever seen.

#2. Without Vontaze Burfict, your LB group would be Rey Maualuga, Emmanuel Lamur, and either AJ Hawk, or some other scrub. They tried that for the first 6 games of the season. Nobody could tackle worth a damn.

Bengals Run D w/o Burfict (6 games): 109 yards/gm, 4.85 YPC
Bengals Run D w/ Burfict (10 games): 82 yards/gm, 3.93 YPC

So when GM Marlon makes sure neither of them return, he's going to be stuck with Kirkpatrick as your #1 CB and Maualuga as your #1 LB, and one stinking turdpile of a defense. Marlon for GM, 2016!
