Many times it looked like he was playing to not get injured. And he definitely wasn’t going up and getting balls he used to get in his sleep. But I guess that’s just par for the course with Bengal greats. It hardly ever ends well. Geno might be as close as it comes.
I hate to say this, but think about the position AJ was in. He knew this team wasn't going anywhere. He knew he didn't have a future in Cincinnati. He was injured pretty much all season last year. He's over 30, so why bust my ass to get hurt again when this team isn't going to the playoffs? This is the worst stretch of football in Bengals history since 92-03. Me personally, i wouldnt give less effort, but guys like Geno, Carlos, AJ, ect all had been winners the entire time they were in Cincy, and now the teams the laughing stock of the NFL.
I hope AJ has a stellar year in Arizona this year. I agree him and Chad are probably my 2 favorite WR of all time as Bengals, and I hope he can have another 2 or 3 years in the NFL and hopefully win a Super Bowl since he couldn't get it here in Cincy.
