Trae Waynes is entering free agency, and Bleacher Report thinks the Vikings should let him walk.
The outlet listed Waynes as a player Minnesota shouldn’t re-sign. Bleacher Report listed a player from all 32 teams, stating an argument for that respective team to not keep them.
Here’s what they had to say about Waynes:
“Waynes earned a 65.1 grade for the season from PFF and had one interception, while [Mackensie] Alexander had one interception and earned a 65.7. The two have put up virtually identical numbers, and both serve different roles in the defense.”
The outlet compared Waynes to Alexander and found that both are about the same, but they play different roles. Personally, I think the Vikings should bring back Alexander regardless of whether he plays the nickel or the Vikings decide to make him one of the mainstay cornerbacks out wide. I think he’s earned his way back onto the team, and he’s arguably a top-two corner on the team, even though he plays sparingly.
