This may gives us an idea of what Dunta may be seeking. Perhaps a little less, but I doubt by much in today's market.

PANTHERS, GAMBLE AGREE TO SIX-YEAR DEAL
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 28, 2008, 4:34 p.m.
While millions of Americans were doing their holiday shopping today, the Carolina Panthers were spending millions.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Panthers have signed cornerback Chris Gamble to a six-year, $53 million contract that includes $23 million worth of guaranteed bonuses. The deal makes Gamble one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in NFL history.
For the Panthers, re-signing Gamble takes him off the free agent market heading into the 2009 off-season. It also gives them a little more flexibility with their two other high-profile players whose contracts expire after this season, defensive end Julius Peppers and offensive tackle Jordan Gross. The Panthers would like to get a deal done with either Peppers or Gross and could then slap the franchise tag on whoever is left.
Gamble was the Panthers’ first-round draft pick in 2004 and has been a starter since the first game of his rookie year.
