This offseason’s been a tough one for any player to navigate. They’ve had meetings over laptops and iPads, their ability to work out as they normally would has been in the hands of local governments, and that’s without even considering the on-field progress that’s being lost with OTAs and minicamps canceled. Plus that, you know, we’re all dealing with a pandemic too.
Then, you have players like Trae Waynes.
This offseason was the one for Waynes, the one that every NFL player builds his football-playing life toward. After four years in Minnesota, he’d be a free agent, a still-promising young player at a premium position, hitting the market on the front end of his prime, and set to land the life-altering second contract that can set a guy’s family up for generations.
