Full full full full rebuild.
Dunlap and Atkins are wasted on this defense and aren't even creating sacks at this point.
AJ Green is in the final year of his contract, is over 30 and is now injured.
Andy Dalton will forever be the line by which other QBs are defined (better than Dalton = build around, worse than Dalton = find someone else).
There aren't too many other notable players on this team that are running out of time. But I'd do something with these 4 (trade if you can get something for them) and then rebuild with your core of Boyd, Mixon, Ross (?), Price (?), J. Williams, Billings, Lawson, Hubbard, Jackson and Bates. All of whom are 26 or younger.
The rest of the roster is disposable (and probably should be disposed of, to be honest) or otherwise unknown quantities that may become something over time.
But there's no doubt that a rebuild is required. We tried the "soft rebuild" a few years ago and it utterly failed. We need to ditch Dalton and start from scratch.
