I'm beginning to wonder if Trae Waynes will hit the market. The Vikings have 19 free agents going into the 2019 offseason and a meager $11.3 million in cap space. Assuming they let S Andrew Sendejo go by not picking up his option, they'll still be looking at a shoddy $16.8 million in space. They need more cap room to sign their draft class and retain or obtain talent at other positions, especially considering SLB Anthony Barr and K Dan Bailey are on that FA list. The Vikings deepest group is at CB where they have Xavier Rhodes, Mackenzie Alexander, Mike Hughes, and Holton Hill. The team can gain the most space by cutting ties with Waynes prior to the beginning of the new league year. They would have been smart to trade him this year. Now they have to make a snap decision between Feb 4 and Mar 13 on whether or not to retain him because that salary is fully guaranteed March 13. If the Vikings do cut him before the option fully guarantees, then the Chiefs should do everything they can to sign him in my opinion. He's been a lot stronger player the past 2 seasons than he was his first couple.
