|SF2| Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Its only about 20 degrees warmer here in December than Green Bay. However, no way he passes on New England if given the chance unless the money is way out of wack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgdrdoom Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I've defended LaFell from people on this board and other places who claim he's "the worst WR2" and other similar things about how much he sucks for some reason, but I'd 100% cut him and put that $4 million towards a 2-3 year offer for Jordy Nelson. He's probably going to get a big(ger) offer elsewhere though, good free agents are getting paid insane amounts of money right now. How much would it realistically take to get him here on a short deal? I can't see Mike Brown giving our WR2 $7+ million per or else one of Sanu/Jones would still be here. Would Jordy take 3 years, $18 million with $12m of it guaranteed? Basically give him $6m per year with the first 2 fully guaranteed. Is that enough? He's about to be 33 years old so maybe that's not actually low for him right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have an AJ Green, Nelson would get more balls thrown his way from Tom Brady and way better odds of another ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Amendola gone I could definitely see them going after Nelson and I'm sure he's interested in getting another ring. However, don't forget that they have Brandin Cooks again for 2018 and Gronk is another 100+ target guy. Nelson could potentially have a bigger role here (assuming we cut LaFell to afford him) if that's what he's after. Amendola and LaFell had almost the same amount of targets last year so I wouldn't say he'd definitely see more balls thrown from Brady. We also can assume John Ross will have more than the 0 catches he did last year though so that could change things too. I definitely agree on the ring part but I do think his role would be about the same on either team. But who wouldn't want to go to the Patriots over the Bengals in general?

Nelson has made $43 mil in his career I believe so at the end of the day do you take a little less money (assuming that happens) so you can possibly win another ring? Gotta think so. BTW, gotta feel sorry for Brandin Cooks. First catching passes from Drew Brees then having to suck it up with Tom Brady. Maybe he will go to Green Bay in 2 years.

membengal Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 The Nelson thing is PROBABLY nothing, BUT...we do have Alex Van Pelt here now as QB coach. Maybe that's enough of a link to give the rumor a small heartbeat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbrown66 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Never happen. The only WR the Bengals ever signed to a multi year deal over the age of 30 was Carl Pickens, and that was a loyalty contract only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgdrdoom Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Jim O basically said that this came from a very loose tie in with our new QB coach and that Jordy Nelson has shown no interest in coming here even if the Bengals did want him. I'd have to go back and find his quote but I believe he also said the Bengals didn't "show interest" either and the report was 100% speculation.

Yet more reporting speculation as fact just to report something. Just like the Burfict trade nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 They signed Nelson and cut Crabtree. Cue Bengals interested in Crabtree report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
