So far probably no regrets.

Smith is on IR. He's been terrible this season. Sure, not as bad as Ogubehi, but we clamor that we have to play our rookies/young players. Sometimes you have to let your 1st rounders play.

Lamur and Hall don't even start. Lamur is 2nd string. Hall is 3rd.

Sanu has 23 receptions for 258 yards and 2 TDs. Along with 13 first downs. Signed for 5 years, $32 million. $14 million guaranteed.
Boyd has 20 receptions for 245 yards with 0 TDs. Along with 13 first downs. Sgned for 4 years, $4.2 million.
And yes, Sanu was brought in to be their #2 WR. And he's 3rd in the receiving category on the team, behind Coleman. A RB.

The only 3 that contribute to their team are Newman, Nelson, and Jones.
Newman was let go because of his regressing play. Honestly, what he's doing now is pretty crazy.
Bengals re-signed Shawn Williams to a starter contract, so that meant good-bye Nelson because he wasn't going to make the same money here.
Jones wanted to be a #1. He would probably have a little bit better numbers than LaFell right now. But since being a #1 he's top 5 in receiving yards, tied for 7th in TDs. He has more receiving yards than Cooper, Landry, and AB. Only has 7 yards less than OBJ.

Sometimes players move on. The season isn't over for anyone. Some of those teams will fail to make the playoffs, some will make it. You can't keep living in the past. Smith, Lamur, Sanu, and Hall wouldn't make us a better team.

One can debate on Nelson and Jones. But the rest would not have made us a better team.
