Waynes to the Bungals
Per Tom P on NFL Network, no details yet...
Man...feels like we slammed the window shut and are in a pretty decent rebuild
They're going to need about 20 draft picks just to have a full roster :p
Interesting, we don't really need experienced defensive backs because Zimmer's system is so easy to learn and rookies fit right in after a few practices...
Wow!
@"IDVikingfan" said: Interesting, we don't really need experienced defensive backs because Zimmer's system is so easy to learn and rookies fit right in after a few practices...That was sarcasm but you do realize Hughes played way more snaps as a Rookie than Waynes did. And Zimmer is playing way more Zone. So let's please get rid of the tired, dogmatic 'it takes Corners forever to learn his system' mantra. It hasn't been true for a while now.
well shit, that should be worth a good comp pick....seems a little much for Mr. Waynes
$14MM for Trae Waynes? LOLOLOLOLOLOLZ ok, happy to not resign him. I would like to resign Mack Alexander but now I'm nervous to see what that would cost.
Soon I won't be able to recognize this team. What a wild few days in the NFL
Good bye Mr Waynes, glad the Vikes didn't drop 14M annually for your services!!!
Hopefully they can keep Alexander or add another veteran corner. Hughes had a rough season ending with a neck injury and at least the new CBA should help Hill, though I'm not sure what his ceiling is. Corner will be an interesting position to watch. That unit did struggle last year & Rhodes was not the same player as before, but replacing Rhodes, Waynes, and maybe Alexander is tough to do all at once.
Congrats, Trae. Use some of the cash to buy several large screen TV's. You can't believe how great the playoffs look in HD!
Not a surprise at all. Not sure the team can resign both Griff and MacKenzie.

I actually liked Mac outside more than inside, but he’s become a solid slot guy and they often take time. Waynes is a good corner. Our system wasn’t always ideal for showing it. His tackling is excellent. The Bengals got a good player.
However, $14m per was a no go for us. I hate to lose him, but we’ll have to make due with some youngsters. I’d really like to see a vet brought on board like they’ve done with guys like Newman in the past. I’d feel much better with a veteran presence. I’d think Waynes will bring great comp pick return.
FA CB Trae Waynes 3-year, $42M deal, source said. He gets $20M in the first year and averages $14M.
Seriously?
I'm happy with the comp pick.....
