AJ Contract situation

[JSR18]

This is mainly for the posts at the beginning of this thread.

All anybody wants to talk about is AJ doesn't want to be Tagged. Here's the whole quote:


For a rain-shortened practice before everybody left for the bye weekend, a lot happened Wednesday before noon at Paul Brown Stadium:
- Rookie quarterback Ryan Finley went through his first practice as the starter on The Paul’s turf and it just so happened to be the first practice of the season wide receiver A.J. Green took reps with the offense. Green reported he even caught a ball, a slant-in, from Finley. Green’s goal is to have his first full practice a week from Wednesday and to play his first game against the Ravens at PBS a week from Sunday if all goes well with the ankle.

- After practice Green reminisced about his days with quarterback Andy Dalton (favorite moment: that first Pro Bowl when they were rookies in the locker room with Ed Reed and Ray Lewis) and talked about how much Dalton means to him personally and professionally. Then he dropped a bit of news and said he’d play under the franchise tag if it ever came to that.

“What is it? 18, 20 million?” Green asked. “I’m not one of these guys that’s going to sit out and give away money.”
