Vikings’ opponents are attacking Trae Waynes – how is he holding up? - Guest - 10-27-2017
Peters is a lot like Dre Bly. Gambling is great when you look at those interceptions and make judgements about a corner's ability. But he gets burned freelancing... a lot.
Waynes might not put it together and become an elite corner, but he's improving in coverage, he's physical in the run game, and he does what the scheme requires. And if they pick up his option, I assume Zimmer likes him and believes in him... and that means more than anyone's opinion here.

I think you're spot-on regarding 5th year option. Thats where the rubber hits the road. Are the Vikings willing to pony-up on Waynes or not?
If the choice comes down to him or Barr or Kendricks? Can't keep em all? I'm letting Waynes walk.
