HoosierCat Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Good move. Not special, but IMO continuity at WR this time around is preferable after losing Jones and Sanu last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 wait...wut? "As much as" better be doing a hell of a lot of work because that's way too much if it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Oh my! This move is fine, but I still think if they let Whit walk this team is in big trouble, on the field and in the locker room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Lafell is underrated. Great signing and with Boyd and Green we're loaded at receiver. Gotta figure out how to give our quarterback the requisite time, though. Good move by Mike and company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPHAR Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Good move and good contract $$$. It will be a cheap contract by the time the weekend is done. On Wednesday I caught a little bit of sports talk and Free agency. The host of the show asked his National guest (can't remember who it was) about various Free Agent deals. The host threw out LaFell in a tone of not being very important and probably not resign. The guest went total opposite direction and basically said the Bengals love LaFell including AJ Green. Something about his strongest routes fit perfectly across from Green. Also said he's not sure how much it gets talked about in Cincinnati but Urban the WR coach from his prospective is considered the best in the league. A lot of talk about around the league about the quality of the work Urban does. Not sure if this takes them out of the market for WR in draft but the frontline guys will be much further ahead opening camp than last year. Just need health.

ArmyBengal Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Seeing as how most coaches claim it takes a season or two for WR's to develop, taking a WR should still be considered. LaFell's deal is for two seasons, so that would make sense. Hell, I wanted LaFell back AND still considered taking a WR at #9. I recall posting a WR corps of AJ, LaFell, Boyd, and top pick would make a formidable top 4. They could still bring along Erickson and Core, while covering potential injuries. It wouldn't be the dumbest thing they could do. That would be reaching for an OT at #9 due to the mass exodus of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Much ado about nothing when this team might, quite literally, have the worst o-line in the entire NFL next season at this point (if they lose Zeitler, and even with him, it's below average at best with no tackles).

AMPHAR Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 James Wright, who can't stay healthy and plays less than 50% on special teams has earmarked a roster spot for a WR IF they use a significant pick on one. 5 spots look stable with Green, Boyd, LaFell, Core, and Erickson. They could even use a decent pick and still elect to keep Wright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yep, seeing as how they usually carry 6 with 1 of them being inactive, they have room to spare. We saw what happens when injuries occur and there's more concern the deeper they get in the corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 There were a # of better WR's on the market that were only slightly more expensive than LaFell, but in typical loser fashion, the Bengals' went for mediocrity after a losing season. LaFell isn't horrible, but he's hardly a compliment to AJ downfield and I'm not sure he's worth anything near $5 mil a year. But hey, it's the Bengals', whatever comes easy.

ArmyBengal Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Him and Boyd put on solid numbers in replacing Jones and Sanu from 2015. Not really a reason to dick with that much. They can still add a top WR in the draft and have a very good WR corps. However, the o-line is still an abortion !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
