Dennard Wanted 10 million

Webb was rated highly by PFF in the slot, so I think we're good to go. We already have our Dennard replacement.

We could also bring back Leon for some depth that's capable of manning the slot.

Webb is a $4 million slot corner, Dennard was wanting $10 million. If I'm not mistaken, Jackson's deal ends next year. Kirkpatrick is making a jillion dollars a year. The Bengals place a higher value on CB, WR and T, especially in drafting. I guess because of the price those positions demand for a talented FA. I could see them going after a CB in the first or second as a position we might eventually need. The pick could either help keep Jackson's cost low or take over for Kirkpatrick in a couple years at the end of his deal.

I don't want it to happen, just saying I wouldn't be shocked if they take a CB or T in the first. Which will be crazy to me.
