Is there anybody out there that wants to keep Lafell?


Awesomeness!!

Theres a big difference in bringing him back for a million or two a year versus bringing him back for three or four times that, which some around here seem to think he will command on the open market.  I would keep him for a reasonable number just to maintain some continuity in the WR corp and in case whoever we draft doesn't come in and dominate right away or if we have an injury.  He would be a decent guy to have for some depth but there is no way I pay him anywhere near big money or really worry about him at all if he were to leave.  That's as strong a case for him as I can muster, which admittedly isn't that strong.

Cheaper, better alternatives will emerge. I'd imagine he'll get the same treatment that DG showed Cap'n and Dwan last year to start FA. LaFell will see his relatively low market value and could sign back for cheap to compete for a spot. Donald simply isn't worth breaking even a piggy bank for.

"Lafell is a good blocker."

The uselessness of a WR that can block but can't actually play WR falls somewhere in between a Safety who can't play the pass and a QB who can't throw but is an excellent holder on the uselessness scale. And it's closer to the latter.

If he's cheap, bring him back for a year, let him block and really see if he can produce consistently.  If he wants more money, good luck on the open market!  He is a very good blocker, but his boneheaded plays in the receiving portion of his game are the things that really make us all want to drop him off at a fire station with his mother's address pinned to his shirt...

    • Yea I have it.  When it flares it can be very severe.  I had an extended hospitalization a couple years ago and it took a while to recover.  Can’t imagine trying to deal with that as a pro athlete.  It’s hard enough as a desk jockey.
    • I think the difference is that The Golden Calf of Bristol and Cam were just big personalities with big time talent (The Golden Calf of Bristol just lacked any consistency, leading to most of us hating him because it felt like he pulled big plays out of his ass). Sanders is a good talent who is completely full of himself and the ego feels unearned. You should WANT to change the bad culture of the losing franchise you expect to go to as a top pick...but that's a thing you keep to yourself or articulate well enough that it doesn't come off as "we're doing poo my way, if you don't like that, don't draft me".  You don't create an entire room touting yourself as legendary when you did absolutely nothing legendary at the collegiate level. Nobody is going to be fondly remembering Shadeur Sanders the college QB. Johnny Football is there, Cam is there, Vince Young is there, RGIII is there, The Golden Calf of Bristol is there.   Sanders needs humility and to pry himself away from his father. His father is going to tank his career before it is even started.    Sanders may bounce around the league as a backup for a few years, he'll play in select games and look like a backup but he'll have that one game where he pops off and that game will be used to say "see?! He's great!" and then he'll get the start and never live up to that game again.
