The Minnesota Vikings have exercised their fifth-year contract option on cornerback Trae Waynes.
The move was made Monday by the Vikings
Authentic Derrick Henry Jersey , who drafted Waynes with the 11th overall pick in the first round in 2015. He was the first cornerback taken that
year.
Waynes has been a starter for the last two seasons, opposite All-Pro Xavier Rhodes. Waynes has five interceptions and 35 passes defensed in his career and
was credited by the Vikings with 72 tackles in 2017.
Picking up the option gives the Vikings a window of almost two years to sign Waynes to an extension before he can hit free agency. They have yet to reach a
new deal with linebacker Anthony Barr, the 2014 first-round draft pick now in
the final year of his rookie contract.
Texas Tech has established a tradition of sending receivers to the NFL. Michael Crabtree, Wes Welker, Danny Amendola and Jakeem Grant have represented
the Red Raiders in recent years.
The school had only two players selected this year
Derrius Guice Color Rush Jersey , and both were wideouts. The Texans selected Keke Coutee in the fourth round, and Dylan Cantrell went to the
Chargers in the sixth.
Coutee made second-team All-Big 12 honors last season, catching 93 passes for 1,429 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Penciled in as the Texans’ returner, Coutee is competing with Braxton Miller for the slot position.
“He’s in the long mold of those Red Raiders
Authentic Marcell Ozuna Jersey ,” Texans receivers coach John Perry said, via Aaron Wilson of the
Houston Chronicle. “He’s done a good job. He’s working hard. He shows up every day. He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do.
If he continues to do that, I can see him moving forward.”
Although Miller is “on the right path” after offseason workouts, he hasn’t found a way to stay on the field. He missed 11 games his first two seasons,
making only 34 catches for 261 yards and two touchdowns.
That gives Coutee a chance to contribute as a rookie.
“He’s only getting better
Authentic Oscar Lindberg Jersey ,” Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins said. “He’s always hanging around, seeing what I’m doing in between periods, asking me
questions. The guy can play football. That’s going to take care of itself.
Coming in, learning this offense, getting in his playbook
