Eric Weddle More concerned about winner than Money.

Quick question, is Iloka tag eligible?

Yes, but the tag is projected to be $10.7m for safeties.

Iloka is simply not a $10m+ safety. Not even sure he's an $7-8m safety (at least for the Bengals) considering he was down for at least 4.5 games in 2015 and Williams filled in without the defense suffering.

George Iloka in 645 defensive snaps: 47 tackles, 4 Pdef, 1 INT
Shawn Williams in 474 defensive snaps: 32 tackles, 5 Pdef, 2 INT

Roll with Nelson and Williams, and draft a safety in the 4th or 5th for depth.
