I'd gladly cut LaFell if it meant signing Maclin. Green/Maclin/Ross being on the field at the same time would open up the defenses for the run by quite a bit.


EDIT: Looks like it was a cap move. They saved $10m in cap space, putting them up to now $11.8m in cap space. The downside of paying Justin Houston like a top franchise QB.

so you rather cut Lafell who played with a bad hand all year and  who performed better last year than Maclin and  plus bring in someone that will need to learn the system, not have practiced a year with Dalton ??  not me

I tend to agree with EJ. Just doesn't make sense as presented.

[BenZoo2]

I think I would prefer they just extend our own guys as I don't see wr as a weakness now. Sure maclin is probably better than everyone not named green but IMHO resources are better spent elsewhere.

Maclin would be a great option, if this were last season, when we were in serious need of help at WR. The team has done a very nice job of amassing talented players at the position. Money can be better spent on other areas.

Maclin is declining
The numbers support that
I will take LAFELL over Maclin
LaFell knows the offense better and is coming off
A better year

[milksheikh]

Don't need Maclin...

[bengals67]

Bengals won't even consider this and they are right not to do so.

WR group is set and we need the money to re-sign Burfict and maybe Eifert.

[XenoMorph]

Yeah timing isn't right we just stocked up and have too many quality WRs as is granted not a ton of experience But we have some Vets, We have youngings and we have the Speeed.

At this point as others mentioned Lafell has a year in the system and some time working with Dalton He stepped up for us last year when AJ was out.

[SunsetBengal]

Two year deal with the Ravens.

Ravens might also still be pursuing Decker too.

Nice pickup by the Ravens. Hope they don't get Decker too, that would be a tough WR corps.

Almost as tough as ours.

We should be all over Flacco though, we should sweep them once again. They will be better than last year but so will we IMO.

Not Worried we got the corners to handle it.
