Lafell 64 catches 862 yards 6 TDs
Jones 55 catches 930 yards 4 TDs
Maybe they were right not to offer them the same deal if that's your theory? If that was the case, that would mean the Bengals management actually was smart. Maybe his past injury issues are why they wouldn't pay him the same deal? Pick your path either they tried to spend the money and gave him the same ill advised deal, or they low balled him found a comparable replacement for far less I'll let you make the call.
One thing I failed to notice earlier, LaFell was playing opposite AJ Green. Jones wasn't. The coverage each faced was a little different.
