After two years and only starting four games, Trae Waynes has been released by the Cincinnati Bengals to clear cap space for other signings. The team made the announcement Monday.
A big money signing in the 2020 offseason, Waynes never lived up to the billing hardly playing due to injury, including a torn pectoral muscle that wiped out his entire 2020 season. Hamstring injuries led to him appearing in just eight games (including playoffs) this season.
Now, the 29-year-old veteran will get a chance to revive his career with another team likely on a cheap one-year deal.
