Bye Bye Brandon Lafell

please bring in a capable playmaking big body X WR across from Edelman. This offense needs one.

Hell, I'd even take a shorter Kearse.

I wouldn't say the book is closed on LaFell yet, though he had a bad year. I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed for training camp next season, but I do expect competition for his position.

Did he even play? Invisible.

We should of kicked the ****ing field goal when had a chance we would of had 15 points then when we scored at the end of the game we would of won ********

The Pats lost the opportunity to draft a receiver in 2 good drafts, and now we don't have a 1st round pick what makes things worse. The Pats have a problem at WR and I don't see this being solved in one off season.

Brady didn't have time to check his one and two all day. Never mind JoJo.

Reiss said during the game that he was fourth on the depth chart behind Martin.

Wrong thread

Lafell can stay if he takes a pay cut, but in my opinion I think we should replace him with a guy like Kearse, Benjamin, or Marvin Jones next year. I actually don't think WR is the biggest need next year, though. It wasn't what failed us.

If 2014 LaFell shows up they'll be fine.

We don't know if he was healthy. He played pretty well last year. Same with Chandler. Martin caught zilch. White is no Vereen. Jackson gave nothing but the OL was destroyed. Gronk was the only playmaker available, amazing performance there.

This would be the only question. Clearly not the guy that was here last year. If that's NOT excusable due to some injury that's more serious than we understand, then he's done here.

Regardless you will have competition for him (even if Tyms, Dobson). But I would love to see a playmaker out there.

same with scott chandler...maybe amendola if he doesnt take a pay cut

i like danny, but he shouldn't be one of the top 3 receivers. keep for edelman insurance, nothing more

The going rate for a 2014 LaFell kind of receiver is at least double what 2016 LaFell is due. I'd be giving him a good long chance to get healthy and see if that was the problem, because I can't see them spending the $8 million a year for a clear upgrade.

In particular, I've seen the roughly $11 million franchise tag mentioned as a possibility for Alshon Jeffrey and even Marvin Jones. If the Pats are priced out of that market, then they're going to have to go with the riskier options like a late second or third round draft pick or a mid-level free agent. If you know you're taking a risk at that position, then it seems like a waste to automatically disregard the guy who has actually produced in the system.

He did throw some perfect downfield passes tho...

that a regular NFL receiver should be expected to catch
