It wouldn't let me post it to free agency IDK why. Also he's a number 1 but would be a 2 here. I think we can get him for around 7-9 million due to injuries and the suspension hell be a discount. If we don't get z, might as well get Jeffery give us a potent passing attack.

AGREED!! You put that money into WR, not the interior of the line. Westerman might be able to take over for Zeitler. We'll see how it all pans out, but I'd take Alshon in a second. 

Remember Duper and Clayton?

You realize there will be several teams interested in signing him?  Players like that don't come at a discount.  Neither do players who figure to be looking for a pay day.  I think your estimate is way off.

We don't need this guy. He's an over rated player on a crappy team. so he gets more attention than he deserves.

Pass, we have plenty of talented WRs to compliment AJ Green. Money would be better spent on the OL.

Or a premier DE.  I keep saying it but no one will listen.  Ced O will be the next RG on this team.  He played his best in college when he played as a guard.  Salvage a first round guy and free money up to make big Free agent splash.

Really a wr that's often injured that just came off a 4 game suspension for PED use? Also he's on record saying he only wants to go to a contending team. The number isn't far off.

So he was overrated when him.and Brandon Marshall were killing everybody?

What talented receivers do we have? Cody core looks worse than Mario Alford did when running routes, lafell is hot garbage, James Wright can't do anything, etc.

We will agree to disagree.  A 4 game suspension on a 3-5 year deal is nothing.  We will see the numbers when they come in but he will get more than you think he will.

yes but a 4game suspension along with missing games will put value down. Oh well we will see.

Why would we want to sign a player who is injured a lot and suspended? He's played over 12 games in a season ONLY TWICE in his 5 year career.

If he was a guy that costed $3 million a year that's one thing...but he's going to sign for about 10% of our overall salary cap.

I like Devin Taylor if we go for an End.

I highly doubt Og would be good at Guard, he has no strength. Og will be out of the league. Terrible pick.

Core has crazy deep speed and has tons of talent. I wouldn't mind picking up Jeffery but honestly where we
need the most help is on the O-line, not at WR. Lafell is definately not hot garbage, dude did everything asked
of him last year in his first season in a new system.

Don't know why you would call Lafell hot garbage. Need to bring the guy back if anything.

A number 2 receiver can not go 4 for 32 in 4 games. I want a legit number 2. We have 2 number 3s imo Boyd and lafell

No offense man, but I'm glad the Bengals don't use you as a talent evaluator.  Boyd, Core, Erickson, and yes, Lafell are all talented complimentary receivers.

What, you think that the team should be paying for two WR1s?

Even AJ Green has bad games.

The numbers for the year for Lafell say otherwise.

Brandon Lafell is a legitimate #2 WR IMO. Definately not hot garbage as you call him.

Boyd is a fine Slot WR, Core was a great pick with tons of talent. We have a good WR coach in Urban.

We have much bigger problems than Wide Receiver.

yes! That is exactly what I want. Look how well it's worked for the colts with Reggie Wayne and Marvin harrisson. Do u really trust those players with the game on their line? I don't. I love Boyd in the slot, but I hate lafell. Also he's supposed to get 6-7 million? No thank you. Core can't run routes but he may develop. I want to draft mike Williams more than anything. He had less than 400 yards in 10 games. At least with Jones u could trust him with the game on the line.

What bigger problems? Oline then wr as I see it. He had less than 400 yards in 10 games. U can't count on him when the games on the line. Most of the time he couldn't even beat 1 on 1 coverage. This is why we need to get a new actual number 2 in fa or draft mike Williams. Number 2 wrs are Randall Cobb, martavius Bryant, sterling shepard/vixtor Cruz, etc. Lafell is not in that group.
