He played a slightly larger role on the team in 1999, but was mainly a special teamer. He signed with the Green Bay Packers and play with them as a starter and major contributor to the defense for three years,[2][failed verification] recording 298 tackles, ten sacks, six interceptions, five forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries, and 23 passes defensed.
Wayne signed a four-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on March 14, 2003. He started in 2003, but was limited to playing on nickel packages in 2004, due to the promotion of Jeremiah Trotter, and movement of Mark Simoneau to weakside linebacker. Even then he lost playing time to Keith Adams. Wayne was the first Eagle released in the 2005 off-season, and signed with the Lions later that year.
