That's my thought and why I ask what he actually does well? What truly sets him apart from a middle-tier guy.
The only reason you'd pay him is because even a middle-tier guy takes something like $4+ million. Even those guys aren't cheap.
That's why they really really need Ward or Smith to become at least a #3 cornerback. After a year getting used to the speed of the league and in the system, surely 1 of those 2 can be a credible option by the end of next season.
I'm not expecting them to be sound in week 1 - that's not a reasonable expectation. But as the season progresses, they should be better and better and if they're credible by week 15ish, that should be okay.
