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.
I think its pretty clear hes ment to be the 2nd WR on the roster. But what we get out of him is an unknown hes had good and not so good seasons.
This thread wasn't really about him but after Lafell there isn't much on the depth chart. as far as proven production goes.
