I'm just not sure going for JC is the best use of the cap. I'd be happy to welcome him in, but there are a lot of good CB2 options that let us retain more of our guys or get more people brought into the mix.
Hayward is still solid, although aging a little.
DJ reed is very effective but his little size seems to go against Lou's ideal CB.
Darious Williams of the Rams and Chavarius Ward of KC are both very solid depending on the dollar amount.
Carlton Davis is one no one is talking about most likely because of price tag but he is a big tough physical corner.
Steve Nelson is very serviceable.
Donte Jackson may be the best value around 10M.
I assume Bradberry is on the watch list in case he is cut....?
The 2 I have been told about personally are Ahkello Witherspoon (Steelers) not a lot of snaps but very productive when did play and very inexpensive. Some PITT guys seem to believe we have an inside track for some reason, he did play with Awuzie in college.
On the opposite end the Carolina insiders think Gilmore's people will reach out to us as they say he mentioned us in a nonprofessional setting regarding an opportunity to win a ring.
All of these with the exception of Witherspoon (an unknown) are an upgrade over Apple in my opinion.
Some of the best Bengals signings last year, like Hendrickson and Hilton weren't at the top of the board for their position, but Cincy got great deals and worked them in. I'd like to see more of those sort of moves.
