Besides, it's not like Willis is the guaranteed starter. He's a backup DE.
My expectation of the DE depth chart (or at least how I would do it):
LDE - Dunlap, Willis, Wynn
RDE - Lawson, Hubbard (Hubbard is first DE off the bench)
If the Bengals draft another edge, I think Wynn is the more likely player to be cut over Willis. Wynn has never had more than 1.5 sacks in a season but he's been in the league five years. He has less chance to develop into a better player than Willis. Plus, Wynn actually costs less in dead cap if released but more toward the cap if kept over Willis.
in fact he's soft as a cupcake.
this is NFL.
DE is a premium position that can impact the game.
the difference between a win or loss might come down to a,DE getting heat on a QB on the last possesion.
then maybe the DE can force the QB to bring the ball.down to reset.
or maybe he flushes the QB out of pocket into the arms of a Atkins or Dunlap.
Willis has shown me nothing in 2 years.
wanna a,player to develop...great leave that to a 6th 7th RD blocking TE or RB.
Willis never shows up unless its preseason vs Dallas vs a future ice cream truck driver.
