With that said, if you trade away Iloka's salary, cut Michael Johnson, you then have enough to pay Earl Thomas what he's worth.

I would cut Williams over Iloka personally.  Not sure who has the better stats.  But there would still be dead money in the cap, and the Bengals are not in favor of dead money.  But I like the dream of adding Thomas.  If they trade one of their safeties, Cut Johnson, maybe Lafell, maybe someone else...who knows.  I just do not see the Bengals paying high dollars for a safety, even if he is in the top 3 in the league.  They will pay CB, but not safeties.  

If the Bengals were to make a trade for Thomas without sacrificing the signings of Adkins and Dunlap, I would be beyond stoked.
