We're now going to enter a partial rebuilding phase...and unfortunately the past 3 drafts haven't yielded much production YET.
At CB, you're looking at Jones, WJ3, Dennard, Shaw, Russell, and Benwikere. There are 3 1st Round picks in that unit...so hopefully we're ok...but I don't see us bringing in another $8-10 million a year CB. Maybe we bring in Amakumara for $5 million on a 1 year deal like he signed with the Jaguars...
There are actually a lot of good free agent CB's...so maybe we wait and get one on the cheap.
I think Kirkpatrick goes to Cleveland or SF.
The problem is that there is no reason that we can't re-sign Z, Whit and Dre., non whatsoever.
We have the money and we will have plenty of money next year to get Eifert and Burfict signed as well. The only thing that is holding us back is the front office's pig headed view that we need to keep $10 million for rollover, $10 million for injuries and $10 million for draft picks - hence the $15 million available. Only the Bengals
