As for Gio, he stepped in and played well and plays great with blitz pickup.  I'm sorry but his small salary isn't worth cutting.  He's still productive and a consummate pro.

I apologize then for misinterpreting your post. When you said to keep the young talent and then mentioned Gio right after, I interpreted that as implying Gio was part of the young talent.

If the cap was $200+ mill and the Bengals could find a way to fill out the rest of their team while keeping Bernard, sure go ahead and keep him. But when the cap is expected to fall to $180-185 mill (per most recent reports) and the Bengals need actual starters, it seems silly to pay $4.75 mill to a backup RB. If they can negotiate him down to something like a $2 mill deal, that could be ok too. But even an extra $2-3 mill could be the difference from someone like a Bobby Hart vs a (way) better replacement in Daryl Williams.
