Sanu to the Pats?

I guess we will see though.  If Sanu gets like 4-5M and LaFell gets 2M somewhere, I'd definitely be on your side.  If both are going to cost you #2 money and on the Bengals, I'd rather have Sanu, although I'd probably not want either at that price.

Look. The Bengals were 12th in pass attempts in 2013 and Sanu produced 455 yards and 2 scores.

They were 15th in yards and 5th in TDs last year and Sanu had 394 yards and 0 TDs.

Lets not act like the Bengals don't pass. There's plenty of opportunities here and this pass offense has been very productive and efficient. I have a feeling that LaFell will get paid less than Sanu - mostly based on age/hype. I don't see any reason to believe Sanu is the better player though.

You have to look at what Sanu has done with his opportunities. He has a career 11.8 ypc (which is not good). He's not a big red zone threat. He was close to leading the league in drops in the 1 year where he got a big opportunity (2014). I think LaFell will be the better value and I think he's a better player too. He can stretch the defense, which is something Sanu is incapable of.
