You can cite Fitzgerald al you want, but Fitzgerald has been available into his later years. He doesn't miss a lot of games. Apples to oranges, really.
Fitzgerald also has played under a series of on year contracts of 11mil per season. This gave the team options if his age dropped him off the cliff. I don't know but I would say that most players want to maximize their earnings on their last contract. If this is AJ's plan then he won't be a Bengal next year unless he is franchised. The 18 mil for the tag would show that the FO didn't give up on him and give AJ a "prove it" year.
