So nice you posted twice 

Yes, when the time comes Andy should retire as a Bengal.  But, the seven playoff berths without a win belong to Merv, not Andy.  Let's limit Andy's futility if we possibly can

Was never one of my favourite Bengals (just not a WR guy: my two favourites ever are Michael Jackson and Bobby Engram, who never even sniffed Cincy), but I always liked seeing him play: aside from the Chicago opener in 2013 and his last year with us, you could always rely on him and when the ball went to him, I always had trust, as a fan.

Hope he enjoys being the ruler, tomorrow :)

Yep. I was incorrect.

A great way to honor one of the all-time great Bengals.  Also to get in the Ravens' heads.  As we all know, AJ absolutely ate their lunch his entire career.

I don't own an AJ color rush but I will be sporting my old black #18 down in the south end zone.  Everyone who has an AJ jersey tucked away in a closet or drawer needs to wear it today.  Love you, AJ Green.  Who Dey!!!!!!!!!

Why can there seemingly never be a post about something good without veiled shots at Mike Brown? AJ is not the first ex Bengal to come back on a one day contract to retire a Bengal. This has nothing to do with Mike Brown changing in any way. He has always cared more for his players than any other owner.

I wasn't taking a shot at Mike Brown. I'm actually impressed by him and his willingness to evolve from long-standing business practices at his age.  Even though the changes in management philosophies might be driven by his successors, they still occur with his approval.

 I can not recall any previous 1-day contracts.  Who else received on?

Anyways, you have to admit that it's a rare occurrence for the Bengals of old and that Mike has changed his stance on a LOT of things recently.

The fact that Shayne Graham of all people is the first to come to mind is pretty telling.

People are showing Mike appreciation for those changes. I'm not sure why that would offend you.

Awesome to see AJ back in the jungle.

Truck you are not a WR guy? You are rooting for the wrong team : )
Even when they suck it seems like the one position that the Bengals always have great players at is WR.

Also had a lot of great QB's as well. They've been extraordinarily lucky in that respect with just a few duds in the past..

This is nice to See.... Nothing but class his entire career. (well minus that one game lol)

But a great player for the franchise. and 1/2 of the Red/Green show
