Here's the thing:

Trae Waynes was never hurt before coming here and then he was always hurt while here. We should sign Jason Verett that dude is always hurt before coming here...maybe it works in reverse.

He tore his pectoral muscle in year one. That injury required surgery and is one that is a 9-10 month recovery.  Last season he badly pulled his hamstring and pulled it again when he did try to come back too soon.  CBs need to be able to run and jump.  He had 2 major injuries...not a bunch of ticky tacky ones.  There is nothing that said he was not trying to get healthy.

Cincy fam- Thank You for the ride.  I want to thank the city, the coaches, the fans, & most of all my teammates for an incredible 2 years!  It didn't go as planned for me personally,  but I'll never trade what we were able to accomplish as a team! THANK YOU!

FWIW, they did Waynes no favors by keeping him this long.

Possibly,kind of a revenge sort of thing.I just don’t feel like Waynes is one of the Bengals favorite people at this point in time.Just a bad experience.Although,enfortunately,sometimes these things are going to happen.

Tretter???

FWIW, he did the team no favors by rarely taking the field.

NO we are done on the OL as far as starters.

He did us no favors being on the roster. So I’d call it even.

Who is the LG then?  As far as I am concerned that is a major hole in the line, it is now as weak as our RG spot was last year if not worse.

True, but we must have our Corner in here to replace Waynes now.

Do we really need to sign someone to take his spot on IR? You can't possibly be talking about replacing him in the lineup, he was barely ever in it.

Says who?

There were some articles around back in 2021 and 2020 about Waynes getting frustated and mad because of his injuries. That wasn't a Cordy Glenn like situation (correct if I'm wrong about Glenn).

I think Glenn really was hurt and had legitimate issues with his concussion.  He hasn't played football since the Bengals released him.

Likewise, Waynes I'm sure wanted to play but unfortunately his injuries didn't allow that.  When Waynes did get healthy at the end of last year he hadn't been on the football much the previous year and a half and he wasn't up to speed like he normally would have been.  He wasn't trying to stick it to the Bengals, its just an unfortunate thing he had a couple of injuries.

Well Mr. Waynes, seems like you are all out of free money.

Just like Waynes did the Bengals no favors by the lack of snaps he played over 2 years.

You might wanna go back and read all the threads where it was discussed yesterday.

About time

Glenn already had perceived problems with the Bills after getting his big payday as far as conditioning/rehab/coming back from injuries on the timeline the Bills expected, which is why they traded him. NFL teams don't trade talented sub-30 LTs for no reason.

He could have been really hurt, but self-reported a concussion and then refusing to practice once medically cleared, being suspended by the team, and then demanding being released doesn't look good.

NFL teams will overlook a LOT for talent, but not trying for two different teams pretty much blackballs you. Just look at Albert Haynesworth (and probably now Antonio Brown).

Practice squad eligible?

That could be true.  I remember at the time thinking Glenn was pulling some BS but you never know.  I suspected he might have serious concussion issues since he never played anymore football but you could be right, teams dont want players like that when they have shown a history of acting up.

I do think as great as A.B. is, he is done in the NFL.  I cant see anybody signing him with all that nonsense.
