You would have to know why the Patriots cut him to know that (and it could be because they needed cap room to sign someone else). Plus even if you remove all of 2014 for Marvin Jones, LaFell has averaged 70 more yards a year throughout his career and that's even including last year where he was hurt for a significant amount of time.
The Patriots are eating 1 million in dead money to get rid of his 2.6 million salary.
Sometimes the patriots mess up letting high price guys go early. But they let a 29 year old WR leave who is not exactly high priced. And they would rather pay Chris Hogan and Danny Amendola at WR.
Trust me I want LaFell to do well. But I think this is closer to Antonio Bryant than it is TO.
And it is for one year. It doesn't do anything for us long term at WR. We have AJ and some late round and undrafted guys. Dalton proved this year he can be a stud with weapons. Get the man weapons.
