If these guys were 33-35 then I can see your point, but Dunlap is just 30 and Atkins 31. I don't see them as being used up yet.
So in your opinion, these guys have maybe 2 years of good play left. What are we keeping them for again? The odds of this team contending in 2020 are slim at best. So we're losing out on draft picks so - hopefully - these guys can help us contend for 1 year starting in 2021?

You've already got the torches lit; it's not like facts are that important at this point.
Who would you say is the core of this team?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
