OK, Bengals.com reporting he has been resigned, so that is great news...and hopefully just the start. I wouldn't mind hearing somebody else signed before teams can start signing our players after 4 PM today. It would be great to hear somebody else resigned right before free agency starts.
We all saw LaFell has speed, runs great routes, great hands but is really great at getting both feet in at the sidelines, one of best I've seen in a Bengals uniform ever at that. If this team can avoid major injuries and for the most part have AJ Green, Lafell and Eifert at TE, Boyd as #3, maybe Core as # 4 or you can line up Eifert outside as a 4 WR set. Plus we have some depth in Core and Erickson and depth at TE after Eifert out most of 2016, so players got game time. AJ Green out forced other WR's to step up. Dalton had to learn to hit the open man, like in basketball. If this team can avoid the major injuries, we do have the passing weapons. We are deep in passing to the point I see no more need for free agents and draft picks here. Resigning LaFell makes it possible to move on to the areas of team not as deep as WR, TE and QB.
AJ Green can really get his feet in bounds working the sidelines and we found so can LaFell. Two guys like that can really spread the field sideline to sideline with Eifert and Boyd working a lot of field also. This bringing back targets Dalton has the timing down to is huge after losing Jones and Sanu last season after Dalton had his timing down with them. QB to WR/ TE timing takes time to develop. Going in with it is a great upside to 2017 season.
