In 2017 he had 6 INTs and 18 passes defensed.

In 2019 it was 1 INT and 8 passes defensed (66 DBs had more passes defensed in 2019)

He also allowed a 65.2% completion rate when targeted in 2019.

I think we all know his play slipped (or is slipping) it's the fact that you can't just cut everyone.
And it's relevant to how the draft falls (cuts don't have to be made until june 1st iirc) so if the draft goes in such a way we can get Okudah or Diggs, yeah Bouye is expendable.
But if not... You want Herndon and a guy like Bryce Hall as our starting CBs next year? 

Also.... in 2017 Bouye got more targets (thus more passes defensed and intercepted) due to who was opposite of him
This year, Herndon got more targets after the Ramsey debacle.... Now giving up 65% isn't good... I don't think anyone is saying he's so good we gotta keep him but the plan was to have Ramsey here, and we could cut Bouye and draft a #2... we no longer have that luxury.

(just saw that Bouye rec'd the same amount of targets in 2017 as 2019, so I got that wrong... but my general perception on the roster remains unchanged)
