LaFell asked/begged because he saw the writing on the wall.  He was being chased by younger, hungrier, and more talented players

Same thing if they decide to cut MJ.  No reason to do it now unless they choose to help him move onto another team

MJ very well could be on his way out too, as the Bengals have Lawson officially listed at DE now and he's explicitly said this TC that he's a DE.
It's going to be hard to get snaps with Dunlap, Willis, Lawson, and Hubbard at DE plus Atkins, Billings, Baker, Glasgow, and Brown at DT. I would bet MJ only stays if there's a significant injury that happens.
