Geno, but he should as he did literally nothing last season. Gio played very well on the other hand but we cannot afford
to keep both Mixon and Gio with what is currently being paid out IMO.

Cut Finney and Hart is my opinion, Hart is being paid too much for a backup.

Also on the cut Uzomah train. Free up the dough so we can hit FA hard and free up the Draft.

If ever there was a time to restructure contracts, this is that time.

I think a guy like Geno and Uzomah, and Gio are smart enough to see the amount of guys getting cut right now. The market is going to be flooded with players, so this should give the team a chance to keep a lot of these guys to prevent creating new holes, while being able to say to them, hey we don't want to release you we'd like to work out a new deal.

The player gets another year of security added to the end of their contract, and the Bengals get the cap number down in the present time. Maybe you end up giving them a little more then what the others on the market are getting so they are interested in the deal, but it still provides cap relief for the team. Becomes a win/win situation. More cap space without creating new holes as both Uzomah and Gio are very useful players, and Geno, if healthy can still be a force I believe.
