Adding Trae Waynes
Waynes was a big-name add and a big-money add.
Realistically, Waynes was overpaid. But the Bengals did this to lure him to town while securing more stability in terms of better attendance and tackling at the position, as well as fewer penalties.
Notably, the Bengals structured this deal in a genius manner so it isn’t as bad as it looks, which bumps the grade.
