We signed LaFell to a 2 year, $9 million deal last year. So we're talking LaFell type money. Probably less, as he's coming off a fairly poor season at his age.
Tbh, Wallace wasn't a terrible signing when he left Pittsburgh. He's averaged 871 yards and 5.5 TD's per 16 starts since he left there. Sure, it's not #1 production, but the Dolphins were easily able to escape the contract and were no worse for taking the risk. I wish the Bengals took such gambles sometimes, as long as the contract is easily escapable. But unfortunately we don't use FA and we don't often cut players when they underperform their cap figure, either.
Wish the Bengals would take such risks as well.
Just remember everybody thinking he was the greatest thing ever. Would point out that the only reason they were parting ways was because AB was so good that they no longer could pay them both.
Was laughed off the thread for even claiming AB was better since believe Wallace was coming off several big TD years and Brown was still a pup.
Just always saw him as a one trick pony that scored a lot but also dropped a lot of easy TD's too.
To be fair have not followed him much since then and maybe he has developed into a better route runner. Because certainly he has lost some of that lightening speed.
Hoping Ross is better, but would still be serviceable even if he was only as good as MW. Just do not trust x-steelers to give it their all for Bengals.
