The seven-year NFL veteran had 862 yards and six touchdowns last season on 64 receptions. Cincinnati still needs to upgrade its stable of wide receivers after losing both Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones last offseason.

LaFell, 30, was a priority signing for the Bengals. He won a Super Bowl in 2015 with the New England Patriots after spending the first four years of his career for the Carolina Panthers.
