I would also cover the number of contracts the Browns terminated and never paid the largest portion of compared to the Bengals who paid Leon Hall 9 million as a slot CB at the end of his career when he was worth half that...
This is much better than the Queefland.
We got that going for us lol

Well, except for the fact that Jay or Hue could actually use Pryor in a game plan, unlike Zampeze.

True enough, we got our problems and Zamp is a big one.

Ha, everybody knows that a "listed" weight isn't always accurate. Hell, when I played, they listed me at 265, but in reality I was only 235. Now that my playing days are gone, I wish I was still 235.

He did. When he cleared waivers, he said he'd be open to switch to WR. Cleveland signed him, but then cut him right before the season opener. He re-signed later in the year and then 2016 hit.

You can look at Pryor and see he is not even close to 250 tho.

Does he need to be 250?

"Pryor has always had the physical makeup of a wideout: He’s 6'5", 250 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds."
The receivers you mention may be faster in a short shuttle, but with pads on and with that length, I disagee with your statement about him not being close to the fastest. I think he was clocked at 4.2 while still at OSU.
He was clocked between 4.38 and 4.41 at his Pro Day in PA, and it's unlikely that he's gained speed since then. OSU is notorious for fast 40 times, and it's widely known that the track at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center knocks off about .1 off of what guys normally run. He still has deep speed and a big frame, but he's not the fastest WR in the league by a long shot.

Does he need to be the fastest WR in the league, in order to be effective?

Nope he doesn't! I don't care if he weighs 300 to be honest. I was just posting what he was actually listed at on a couple of sites to show he wasn't 250.

Pryor may not be the fastest WR in the 40, but I'd be willing to say that he's in the top 3 in 60,80, or 100. No matter what his weight actually is, the guy has amazing body control and athleticism. People forget that he just as highly recruited for being a shooting guard in basketball, as well as the Nation's top HS QB.
Do I think that an athlete such as Pryor could help the Bengals? You bet I do.

Bengals won't pay him what he wants for 1 years worth of production and the last few weeks of the season he disappeared.

I would agree that amount is more than the Bengals would/should be willing to pay for an additional WR. For some reason, I was guessing that he would be worth about half that amount.

I agree ! He has not proven himself enough to warrant that kind of money yet.

Also, just because his agent is asking for that much, does not mean any team will sign him for that much. Seems like a large financial risk, for a player new to the WR position.
