Cincinnati Bengals release former Michigan State CB Trae Waynes following injury issues

Back in 2020, former Michigan State football star Trae Waynes was a prized addition to the Cincinnati Bengals defensive secondary following a strong start to his career in Minnesota with the Vikings. However, after two disappointing, injury-riddled season, the Bengals released Waynes on Wednesday.

This was an expected, financial move for the Bengals, who will move off of Waynes’ expensive three-year, $42-million contract and save roughly $10-million against the cap.

This was a situation that just felt snake bit from the start, and it seems like a fresh start is best for everyone.
