1) Notice he never mentioned his coverage ability. . . AND HE'S A CORNERBACK!
2) If they really wanted him back, they could've offered him an even more insanely grotesque offer than we gave him. It's not hard to see why.

Waynes is a very good corner. He'll be our #1 to start the season.
WJIII has the potential to be a very good corner as well. I think so many different DCs the last 3 years hasn't helped him.
Both of these guys were great in college, both have lots of speed, as does Phillips. Dre K is an ultra-expensive #4.

Yeah, I was panicking myself there for a minute lol
Reader and Waynes and now cutting Miller are major signs of things a changing around here for the better IMO.
With the cutting of a mediocre Miller they will be looking at improving Guard.

DJ Reader and Trae Waynes are solid players; borderline good, even. Lou Anarumo must have won some debates in the offseason because the Bengals need defensive stars.

He graded out at 86.7 by pff last season. That’s Pro Bowler according to their scale.
Reader is damn good, like I said, like what I thought Billings would become.
