AJ Green is franchised

Green may not like it but he really can't complain given the fact that he will be 32 and could not even play last year.  If he was young and coming off a 1000 yard season then he would have plenty of reason to complain about not getting  paid because he might get a big long term deal from another team.  But he will sound like the ultimate spoiled diva if he complains about playing under the tag in 2020 at his age after having only one reception in his last 24 games.

Green has already stated that if he was tagged he would only show up when he had to, but he understands, "it's a business." I understand and agree that Green has no right to complain given his current production and age. The Bengals must want to keep AJ for at least one more season, most likely longer or they would've let him test free agency in 3 days. The Bengals by tagging Green buys them more time to get a deal done without having to compete with other teams vying for his services and by some chance they cannot get a new deal done, AJ is guaranteed to be here next season whether he likes it or not. Again I agree that AJ has no right to complain being tagged and guaranteed roughly $18 million, but most players seem to think being 'Tagged" is a slap in the face, we should all be so lucky.
