I am assuming Dre K wants back, this free agent class of CB does work in our favor. He's in the bottom middle of a big group of tier 2 guys. He might find fewer suitors than imagined, so maybe that lends to returning. But as to cutting Pacman, yeah, do not do that until Dre K signs his new contract. I think even re signing Dre K. they do need to look at a later round corner. Channing Stribling would be a great pick up. CBS has him as a late 4th now. But that is probably going to improve. He is very solid, and wildly under rated. Same build as Dre, but better fluidity and man coverage skills.
Dead Money: we have more than you would think. Not a terrible amount of course, but more than I thought. Cutting Nugent triggered a $1.5 mill hit so we know they are willing to consider that. The total dead money going into 2017 the Bengals have 38 players triggering dead money totaling $3,464,937.00. Given Pacman's history off issues, I would not be surprised to see him go.

didn't realize it was that much. And yeah we do need another corner although Russell could end up being good.dennards got talent but he's a bust he's never healthy. Just saw a mock that saw us taking lattimmore at 9 as a buckeye fan would love it but as a Bengal fan I would hate it. He's the best press corner I have seen his ceiling is Darell Revis his floor is super high as well but I want a day one starter. I do not want a corner in the top 10. I want a wr, a lb, hell any starter that will start day one but a corner will not. If Whit and zeitler resign to team friendly deals, cut pacman resign Dre K to 5 year 35 million 25% guaranteed and would love to sign bouye to a 4 year 20 million. That would give us a starting secondary of Dre k, bouye, and wjiii with Shaw and dennard as backups. Wishful thinking though.
