Fwiw, I think people are acting like LaFell is some Denarius Moore type of signing. If you compare their contracts though, it's clear the Bengals are far more committed to LaFell and have plans to make him a big part of the offense this year.
Moore- 1 year deal worth up to $845k with a $25k signing bonus
LaFell- 1 year deal worth $2.5 million with a $1 million signing bonus
If you look at the contract and listen to what the coaches have been saying, it's clear that LaFell wasn't brought in to be the 4th-5th option ala Moore or Tate. He's probably going to be our starter this year, barring a surprising TC from Boyd.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
