Freaking Rey Maualuga is making a higher average than that (though Burfict I think still had his RFA season when he was signed, so that factored in a bit) I sure would think it'd be worth it in order to not have to see Lamur or Hawk on the field ever again, though.
Dump Kirkpatrick's ridiculous $7.5m 5th year option (currently lined up to be the Bengals 6th highest cap hit in 2016 after Maualuga was the 6th in 2015 for only 57.2% of the defensive snaps) to help pay for it.
We all like to dog Maualuga because of what he isn't, but we should all really remember what happened to the run defense in 2014 and 2013 without him.
