I've always been big on Brandon LaFell, from his rookie year (when I thought he was better and had more potential than David Gettis, which turned out to be true) to now (when I view him as a solid #3 receiver and a great blocker), so I'd love to see him come back for a reasonable price. That said, he hasn't nearly progressed to be anything close to a #2 receiver and he's proven to be very inconsistent as a starter. So, I think we have a few scenarios: 

*If we can re-sign Tedd Ginn to a long-term deal and bring in Hakeem Nicks or another legitimate receiver, I'd be fine with letting him walk. Ginn is much more useful as a #3 guy than Brandon LaFell would be and it makes no sense to carry a guy as the #4 when we have guys with good potential like Marvin McNutt and Tavarres King.
*If we can re-sign Ginn to a long-term deal but cannot sign another wide receiver, we need to consider signing him to a short-term, 1 or 2 year deal.
*If we cannot sign Ginn at all and he walks, we must bring back Brandon LaFell for the next few seasons.

Overall, it just depends on what happens in free agency. LaFell is a decent player, but is expendable.

See you later Lafell.  Would rather have Hixon and give the young guys a shot.  I have a buddy who graduated from Georgia and attends all Georgia games.  Said Tavarres King is a great wide receiver and surprised he is not on our active roster.  Draft a WR early in the draft.

Agree with previous posters - isn't he a UFA since this was his 4th year?  If not, how is Hardy a UFA but not LaFell?  Same draft.

 

 

Hardy was a late rounder.

The round drafted makes no difference as to whether a player is a RFA or UFA, just credited years.

Can somebody who has the time go and see how many of Cam's interceptions came when Lafell was the intended target? I'm willing to be at least 90%

 

I know you are joking but this year, 5 of Cam's 15 INTs were targeted to LaFell. 4 for Smitty, 3 for Ginn, 1 for Olsen, 1 for Hixon.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
