Brandon Lafell to the Patriots

[App_Flash]

looks like I am picking up Olsen up in fantasy football

[Judo Thoreau]

I never expected he would get over 2m/year. Close to 4 mil is just insane. His agent is a genius.

[brandon_87]

can anyone recall the last time a team lost it's top 2 wr's in one off season? i can't.

Top 3 wr's... or did u forget already?

[uscgamecocks]

Wow. That's a lot for Lafell. Good for him I guess, glad we didn't pay that.

[Catalyst]

Jesus H. Christ. I'd have been pissed if we signed him to that kind of deal.

[rodeo]

So Cam Newton is entering his fourth year, a contract year mind you, and the only receiving option left that he's been able to grow with in that time span is Greg Olsen.

 

Yet the argument for keeping our barrel scraping OC was "continuity," which is completely out the window now with 0 chemistry with any WRs.

Pats paying him #2 money.

The #Patriots are closing in on a deal with Brandon LaFell, according to a source. The deal is expected to be for 3 years and roughly $11M

 

Wow.

 

I'm probably the biggest Lafell supporter on this board and I didn't see that type of deal coming. Depends on the guarantee of course.

Yep. And I have mentioned chemistry so much but this is huge. It's one thing to get on the same page with just one guy let alone 4 new ones. Not saying it can't happen but this is a tall order.

 

But it's consistent with the old Giants mindset towards wr's.

 

They gotta get a very very solid vet wr. No way they can't just draft their way out of this talent drought at that spot.

Won't that be the top 4 WRs?

[Newtons2ndLaw]

check that. 4 wr's.

 

so that's Smitty, Lafell, Hixon and Ginn?

 

i can't remember that kind of turnover in year. i really can't.

 

Did you see our CAP!!!

What about it's top 4?

I'm going to do my best to enjoy Cams last couple years here but I'll be really happy for him when he gets to go to a real franchise. Hopefully he hasn't lost his passion for the game by then and can still reach his ceiling.

[Happy Panther]

Has anyone mentioned it's actually top 4 WRs???
