Looks like they young Wideouts will have to wait.

I just don't get this group mindset here that LaFell should be cut when he is the only receiver we have not named AJ Green who can get open and catch the ball...... As you say, none of the receivers can generate separation, and LaFell has been Andy's bailout more times than I can count. Cutting him does not make Core, Malone, Ross or Boyd better....... 

The sample size for John Ross, before the so-called hidden injury and the whole "healthy scratch" debacle, was 2 pass attempts.  Two. For the #9 overall pick in the draft and the #1 overall playmaker in the draft.  

He is worse than Lafell?  According to who?  Marvin Lewis, and no one else, so nothing else matters.  We will simply have to table this logic that he wasn't ready to play in the NFL because he wasn't getting opportunities even when he was healthy.  

And your line about being Andy's bailout is ridiculous.  That is supposed to be AJ Green who is double-covered and Lafell still took advantage of this situation to the tune of 52(on 89 targets) receptions and 3 TDs in 16 games.  And our starting TE was out, and out slot receiver was in someone's dog house or injured.  

Cutting Lafell would help with finances and it would give Core, Malone, and Ross the opportunity to show they are better.  You can't show it when you aren't given the chances.
