Brandon LaFell visiting the Bengals

[GreenCornBengal]

What is his speed like? He always seemed like a slower receiver to me. Once again, matches the Sanu mold. Big, athletic, not too fast, has drop issues.

Faster than Sanu on the field.

Edit- probably a little low

Maybe 3 year 13.5m

That is what kearse signed for in seattle

Or a 1 year 3m or 2 year 8

LaFell was on a 3-year, $9 million contract with the Patriots and set to make $2.6 million this year when the Pats cut him.
So his price should be $3 mill a year or lower.

Fingers crossed for 3-year, $7.5 mill ($2.5 mill avg)

this would be a valuable signing. not a big name guy, but a guy who can give us value performance.

Cap has also gone up.

MLJ and he had a lot of drops last season but he might be a nice addition along with a rookie.

Better than Sanu for sure.

All for it.

How I feel about this depends on who LaFell is slated to replace.  Sanu?  Great!  Jones?  Eep!

Doesn't mean that the Bengals or anyone else will pay more for his services.

Depends, guess we will find out.  Hope your right and he signs with bengals

[Bryan]

He had some iffy hands last season but he could be a solid get. Has any team been sniffing around Reuben Randel? I think he'd be a really good compliment to AJ.

[J24]

If he signs it will be a nice signing for us.

He'd probably be our #2 with rookie(s) being groomed behind him. Is he as good as Jones? Maybe, maybe not.

But he's almost certainly better than Tate, Alford or some raw 3rd-5th round rookie.

Signing LaFell would minimize any potential drop off from Jones.

[Bengal Dude]

I'd have no problem with LaFell, but I would hope that we don't look at him as a long term solution.

This.

He would be our #2 but only for a year or two while we re-stock through the draft.

[TSwigZ]

Huge upgrade over every WR we have other than Green well still need to draft a guy but signing him or Bolden would be clutch

I think Shake pretty much nailed how we would use Lafell.

LaFell and Alford/Burkhead sharing reps at the slot.

Kick those tires, Marv.

Well the whole day passed with no more word, so we can probably forget about LaFell.

Probably Mike trying to get him below rock bottom dollar.

Yup.

The tires were kicked, and the tires wanted more money than we were willing to give them.
