Pats got burnt paying Rex $3.2 million for 500 yards from scrimmage. Bet they don't make that mistake again this year.

Money had nothing to do with it.
Whalen was signed and released by two teams after the Bengals (Minn, SF)
Alford was signed and released by three teams after the Bengals (NYJ, Cle, Chi)
Hamilton was signed and released by three teams after the Bengals (Mia, Car, Pitt)
Binns was signed and released by two teams after the Bengals (Mia, KC)
The fact is that Bengal coaches see all of these players in hundreds of snaps in practice. The coaches have a very good idea about who the better players are. If Ross, Core, or malone was better than LaFell then i'd say the coaches would have played them.
