NE fans ran him out of town but will be right back on the bandwagon when he is putting up numbers. He’s a great #2 imo
Excited though, I think this means Boyd on the field every down which has been a LONG time coming.
Ha. I remember all the talk on the boards that LaFell had a serious drop problem. Total myth.
I wouldn't say he's a "great" #2 though, more around league average imo. He'll hold down the spot pretty well, but he won't be a guy that really makes your team better.

BS, Joe is on the back end of his career and saw the writing on the wall with the emergence of Ross and Malone, and wanted to be released to have a chance to go elsewhere. If he thought he was still going to be here, you can bet he'd be here. And, it was a class move on the Bengal's part to go ahead and release him, to give him other opportunities as receivers get injured around the camps. Nothing to be "embarrassed" about, nothing but class on both parties parts. Thankful for LaFell's time here, he upgraded the room.
Bingo.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
