WJ III is a likeable guy. He has played through injury before and generally seems to hold his own in man coverage. It is hard to justify making a guy a cornerstone of your defense if he's not scheme flexible, however. Man to man can be defeated with rubs, fast/strong receivers, or extended plays - against top teams you want to be able to play zone so that you have a chance at turnovers.
I think that it boils down to what Waynes can show. If he's a total and complete flop this year I think that you have to seriously consider eating $10 mil(yuck) in guaranteed money so that you can re-sign WJIII. If he's all that and a bag of chips, you can comfortably keep him and only re-sign WJIII if the price is right. Paying out the nose for two corners just doesn't make a ton of sense to me unless you have a top performing defense that you don't want to break up.
