But then when you think about it, it could pay off if done right. AJ has had some injury issues the last few seasons. It's a little alarming, but not known if he will continue to have these issues going forward. We can only hope not. But if we were going to get real value from him, now would be the time to do it. I would demand a lot more than just a 1st round draft pick though. Landing a guy with AJ's talent in the draft and that player being able to play at AJ's level would be extremely rare. So if we were to trade, we would have to get a lot in return.

This would be a big, big move and would require a lot of right moves to make it work out for the Bengals. Can anyone really expect this front office, led by Mike Brown, to make so many right moves?

Even if we got a lot in return what would Mikey boy do with that lot? Fall in love with one year wonders and condemn the franchise for years to come? He's done it before.

I'd rather ride with AJ and add as much talent as we can in the draft and see what Taylor can do with Dalton and the offense. We got a preview of this team without AJ last season. The WR corp became Boyd and a bunch of guys who played like they shouldn't be starting anywhere in the league.
