He was overpaid.  The worst team in the league is going to have to overpay for FA's.  The consensus at the time is that he was overpaid, but people understood that that's what it took to get big name FA's.

Alexander signed very early in FA.  Dennard likely overpriced himself, like he did the previous off-season, and the Bengals decided to move on.  Dennard then took whatever he could get at the end of FA.  There's no way he was taking that at the start of FA.

Nobody tried to forecast injuries. I'm talking need.
