Why do you think Alshon Jeffery will come at a "huge discount"?
Maybe I missed something, but I don't see how he goes for anything less than $10 mill a year. He's a WR1, and a team will pay him to be that.
It's crazy to think Alshon Jeffery can be had for $6 mill a year when Mohamed Sanu was signed last year for $6.5 mill a year and Marvin Jones signed for $8 mill a year. Alshon Jeffery is better than both of those players.
Also, LaFell did well for being second fiddle to AJ Green. He started off slow, yes, but that's expected for a player new to a system. He helped the Bengals after the Bengals went down, which is what you hope a WR2 will do.
If this team is going to look for a WR around $5-6 mill, I think it's going to try to re-sign LaFell or go for a WR with a resumé like Terrance Williams.
Think about this lafell didn't even have 400 yards receiving while aj was healthy. That includes 3 games where he went a combined 4 for 28 u can't do that as a number 2. I think he could be got for a discount due to all the injuries and the suspension due to PED. That may scare lot of teams off.
