Doesn't mean he isn't, but doesn't mean he's gone; Webb leaving adds a bit of oomph to that notion.

If our CB group was WJIII, Waynes, Phillips with Dre as the 4th corner, I honestly wouldn't hate that. It would be expensive as hell and you're not getting a ton of value out of Dre there, but he still has some good play in him and he protects you from injuries as a guy who may not be ideal as a starter on the outside but is capable of starting on the outside.

Especially since we ran a 4-2-5 base defense for a good portion of the year in 2019, having 4 good corners is a good idea, generally speaking.

I'd prefer we cut Dre because that leaves us a little more room to sign a LB or guard (if there are even any left), knowing we could replace him in the 3rd or 4th round with a low cost rookie with some upside but if they choose to keep him, Waynes over Webb is a massive upgrade to our top 4 corners, it just would be at a premium cost. And if it allows us to go even heavier on offense in the draft because we no longer need a day 2 cornerback, then that's a nice little development as well.
