We got LaFell on a discount due to his age and the fact that he was coming off a down year due to injury. He'll be more expensive this coming March if we want him back. Sanu's deal with ATL was laughably bad. Boyd has been an upgrade at a fraction of the price.
This nails it. And as much as Reggie Nelson is (apparently) a key cog in the defense, I was glad when he didn't sign for that dollar amount. The Bengals have contracts coming up at other key spots where they will need the cap space.
I was really hopefull that Williams could pick up where Reggie left off, but that has been a huge miscalculation. That being said, it isn't just Williams that is sucking on defense. It is at all three levels.
