SS. Cincinnati. George Iloka . 14. player. 56. The number of teams lining up to take a crack at signing safety George Iloka shouldn’t be a surprise. He’s a proven player entering his prime at a position that is so hard to fill in the NFL these days. Demand is high, and thus the price will be as well. Luckily for the Cincinnati Bengals, they have the required cap space to make something happen.

<p>Few teams in the league have been as good as them at keeping their own players. Current estimates are they hold over $38 million in cap space. That is more than enough to ensure Iloka goes nowhere. Not only will he remain a reliable force against the run but when healthy teams are learning to respect him in coverage as well. This versatility is what makes him so valuable. Sure, it will cost a lot, but good players often do.</p>
