Fitzgerald has played on a year by year contract of 11million since 2015. Aj has earned 90 million by the end of the year. I would have no problem with AJ being resigned for another 60 mil contract but make it with only 15 mil guaranteed. This would keep him in Cincy but not handcuff the team as far as FA anf if his injuries are career ending.

AJ was the top paid WR at one point when he signed his second contract, he deserved it based on how he was playing at the time. I love AJ, but he is over 30 and having trouble playing 16 games a year. When healthy, he is one of the best in the game, but the health issues have to be factored into any new contract. I agree, less guarantees and more incentive base contract for him now to be fair to the team. That is not being cheap and trying to get a bargain, it is fair.
