ReadyToThump Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Always had potential to be great, thought if he was coached right it would happen. Which is strange to me because the vikings have seemed to do a good job developing their DBs in the last several years. Maybe he'll figure it out in Cinci.

I did in Marcus Peters and was fuming when we passed on him back in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is strange to me because the vikings have seemed to do a good job developing their DBs in the last several years. Maybe he'll figure it out in Cinci. Hopefully it's a case of different people learn in different ways. Zimmer has been very good in developing DB's, but he's not infallible. I get the overpay, and the $20 million this year is the Bengals way of essentially guaranteeing money without having to call it guaranteed money. We have the cap space, and it lowers his AAV down to $11 million for years 2 and 3 of the contract. Dre turns 31 this year, while Waynes will only be 28 in a few months, and Dre has enough baggage to where it was time to go. This move makes it so the Bengals aren't pigeon holed into taking a CB at 33 or 65 and giving him significant playing time immediately. With Jackson, Waynes, and Darius Phillips, that's a solid top 3 CB (if Phillips can be consistent with the potential he has flashed) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 What's with these Minnesota CBs that show potential early on but then crash and burn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s all crashed and burned? Waynes isn’t bad, he’s average or maybe above average. Rhodes sure did but that’s on him more than anything else. Alexander is a solid slot CB who should get a solid deal soon enough from someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Every time I've seen Waynes play, he gets called for multiple PI/holding penalties. He seems to have a serious problem with playing the ball and not grabbing at a receiver. Vikings are pretty slim at CB. Does this guarantee they go CB in the first round for like the 8th time in a row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure does, now that MN has two first round picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be thinking of Rhodes. Rhodes is always holding onto people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler735 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Seems like they overpaid for Waynes. He's been an average at best CB for most of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an overpay, but that’s the cost of free agency. He’s being paid a ton up front, but his AAV is “only” $11 over the last two years. Not terrible.
