It’s important for NFL teams to have a good passing defense, as the league is incredibly pass-happy. As a result of this, the Cincinnati Bengals signed cornerback Trae Waynes to a three-year deal worth $42 million last offseason to help out their secondary.

Well, so far, it hasn’t gone great.

To be fair, this isn’t an indictment on Waynes’ play, but rather lack thereof.
