This is not an isolated occurrence, either; he had a PFF rating of 75.3 with the Cardinals in 2018. That included a run defense grade of 80.2.
While Bynes is a good run defender, he really stood out in pass coverage. Opponets had a passer rating of only 47.4, when targeting him. Let's compare that to his fellow inside linebackers.
Opponent passer rating when targeted
Josh Bynes: 47.4
L.J. Fort: 84.1
Patrick Onwuasor: 118.6
Chris Board: 118.7

Just more proof of what total BS PFF rankings are. Cards had Bynes under contract for peanuts (less than $3 million a year) in 2018 after he posted that great 75.3 rating from PFF. So what did they do with that great bargain on their roster? They cut him.
And his pass coverage stats from last year are deceiving because he was only targeted 16 times. His passer rating allowed is so low because he came up with 2 picks, but that seems to be a bit of an anomaly because he only has a total of 2 interceptions in his other 8 seasons.
