That's surprising.

That's surprising.

Both had terrible seasons and they cleared $4.6 million in cap space.

they dropped the ball by releasing lafell.

Lafell is what he is, and that isn't a starter

Lol....LaFell never got in the groove this season, he was basically the 5th receiver by playoff time.

LaFell was worth it from his SB season alone. He was absolute garbage this year though, pretty sure he was tied for the 3rd or 4th most drops in the AFC and he played so much less than everybody else. His first game back in particular might've been the worst game I've ever seen a receiver play.


He's a good depth receiver. He can be a #2 but whoever gets him is better off using him as a 3/4 depth type. He'll probably be better off coming into a season healthy, so it wouldn't shock me if a team gets good value out of him.



Chandler was disappointing, that's all I got on him. He'll get another look elsewhere I'm sure

not sure why this is big news - both are career backups

I suppose, just seemed like aside from this year LaFell and Brady clicked.

Yeah and NE has a clear #1 TE. That role was actually perfect for Chandler so by that account I am shocked on his part.

 

[Tuggy]

Not thread worthy tbh. Both were low on the depth chart.

 

[CDJ]

Just for some perspective on the difference between Lafell this past year as compared to what he was the year before (a starter)- Keshawn Martin drew 59% of the snaps in the AFCCG and Lafell drew about 33%...by far the lowest of the receivers. It really was a year he would like a mulligan on, nothing went right for him.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Good riddance, both were horrendous last year.

Hm... Hehe... hmm... ... nice.
