Yes, Bengals do NOT look to resign him...SOURCE : BENGALS.COM......With Whitworth, Zeitler, Peko, and probably Hunt and Burkhead gone, Bengals say it frees up some cap money and why they are talking to Andre Smith to return at RT.  That would help. That way Ced, Fisher, Winston could try to fill LT with Whitworth gone. Also depth at RT.  That would leave the hole made by Zeitler gone, but I look for Bengals to draft one of the top 3 guards in the draft in an early round....Bengals also talking to LB- Keenan Robinson of the Giants. .....So don't expect Burkhead back now.  I can live with that.  Hill played through injuries and not much blocking but still had over 800 yards rushing and is still one of the best touchdown scoring RBs in the NFL.  We still have Gio. Bengals have said that if the LSU RB is there in round one, they will pick him. ...I say if he is gone, Bengals will take a guard in 1 or 2 and maybe a LB early also. There will still be good RB's on the board in 3 when Bengals have 2 picks. 

I would rather see Smith back than Burkhead. If we lose Whitworth but get Smith back, we can live with that, especially if they draft a guard early that makes fans say " Zeitler Who ??? "......Keeping Kirkpatrick, Lafell helped and if they get Andre Smith back even better. ...I think we can do better than Rex, I really do.  Rex had his years here, often injured, but he never set the NFL on fire. 

I still like Hill and is a beast when healthy. Hill and Gio injured in 2016 hurt. I think Gio goes down on tackles too easy, but Hill can man up and fight through them. He just isn't very good running wide. For power running he is a tough SOB.
