Trae Waynes is due 16 million dollars next year.  I'd imagine the market for WJIII will north of 10 mil.  I would not feel at all comfortable with having around 30 million dollars locked up into those two corners.

I hope we didn't overpay for Waynes, but I do believe he's far from elite.  And I feel the same about WJIII.  He's too inconsistent.  From both in his career, and from game to game.  He's very good in man, but leaves a lot to be desired in zone.

IMHO, the market for corners is incredibly inflated.  Outside of the elite players, you have a jumbled up group of guys that sometimes flash and sometimes don't.  And they get grossly overpaid (See Dre Kirkpatricks old deal).

Invest into getting pressure on the QB and you can make average CB's look great.  Find a mid-level vet at 3-8 mil per to pair with Waynes.  Maybe look into bringing Mackenzie Alexander back too.  See if you can hit on someone in the draft in the mid rounds as well.  And save that cap space from a WJIII deal to use on OL/DL/LB.

With where we are looking to pick in the draft this year, we would be in a great place to let WJIII walk and draft one of the top two corners in the draft. 

Use the FA money to fill holes that aren't going to be as pricey and draft CB and edge rushers.
