AJ still makes catches only a small % of NFL WRs can make

12 mil is way too much for this version of AJ. We’re already overpaying Mixon for virtually no production, we can’t overpay a WR as well.

Being brutally honest, current AJ isn't $5 mil a year better than Tate and I don't see him resigning for that cheap.  He might bolt to a contender to try and get a ring for that, but nothing he has shown during his tenure suggests he will give the Bengals any kind of a discount.

The issue is that Green, Ross, Erickson, and Thomas are all FA's next year, which is a huge blow to our WR depth.  They will likely resign one of these guys, and it may be AJ just because of name recognition.  This is a big reason why I'm aggravated that they didn't double dip in one of the deepest WR drafts in history this year.
