It takes weeks of negotiation before someone signs a contract. LaFell just hit the market a few days before Jones or Sanu was signed. Even you agree that LaFell is much better than Sanu, so why did Sanu get so much money?

Sanu was overpaid, I'm not denying that.  This is about Lafell vs MLJ AND if Lafell is better I can't honestly believe the Lions, Bengals, and anyone else who was interested was like:

Well, we could sign MLJ OR Lafell who is better and is 1/3rd the cost and will take a short-term deal vs. a long term deal with more guarantees BUT Lafell has only been a FA for like a week, so forget it!  There is no denying that IF Lafell is as good or better than MLJ that the Bengals dodged a bullet by being out-bid by the lions.

For some reason the Bengals, if no one else, valued MLJ far above Lafell.  We like to have faith in Marvin/Tobin and our FO, so we have to wonder why we are so dismissive of MLJ since the Bengals value him so much higher than his replacement, that's all.
