Teams valued MLJ and Sanu more than Lafell, and that's facts as you say. You can't argue that those teams overpaid for Jones, since Cincy would have paid the same for Jones (which came out of their own mouths) AKA they DO think Jones is better than Lafell. If you are still reading (i'm impressed!) then I wish you would go back and read what I have been f****** saying this whole post. I'm not saying Jones is that much better than Lafell, I'm saying Jones fit his role here. We don't know if Lafell will compliment Green as well as Jones did. He has done well elsewhere and will have a good opportunity to do well here, but until it actually happens they are worse at that position than last year.

Also, I'm curious, just out of the blue. If Green, Lafell and Eifert all went down with injuries for whatever reason this year, how well do you think Boyd will do? Throw me a statline for like 10 games of Boyd alone out there.

The amount of money isn't the same as the organization thinking that the played is valued higher. LaFell was released form the patriots well after free agency started, and most teams already spent their free agency money, so prices for players go down. I'm sure you would know that if you knew how football free agency worked, but it seems like you don't. Not a big surprise at all really. The fact that you're just assuming that they're worse players just because he's getting paid more "AKA they DO think Jones is better than LaFell" because of his contract is pretty silly honestly. Plus, you don't know if LaFell will be a better fit in our system or not. You're just blindly guessing, and then assuming you're correct.

It really doesn't matter how well I think Boyd would do w/o Green, LaFell, and Eifert since that's a very unlikely scenario. It's asking a question that there's no way to show if it was going to be true by the end of the year, unless that very unlikely scenario happens.
