In the last year and a half he has contributed zilch but I guess you are OK with paying him a minimum of 18 mil( tag price that he says he won't do anything to jeopardize himself because he wants a "last big contract) to see if he will return to his form of two years ago? IMO not too smart.

             I'll be OK "moving on" from a 1st round draft pick who has been in the top 5 his entire career when he's is truly ready to retire. You can tell me that he doesn't owe the Bengals anything all day, doesn't change the fact that they paid him to do a year and a half of nothing. Anybody who is half the person AJ is supposed to be, would feel an obligation to that team. Everybody is screaming for Joe Burrow, he has to have somebody to throw the ball to. Tyler Boyd is not a number 1 receiver.  he becomes a very capable #2 with AJ on the field. Don't have to pay the man 18 mil for one year if they'd stop low-balling and come to a reasonable agreement.

Letting him go to a team you have to play twice a year is not to smart...
