If a team was willing, that new team would be on the hook for the remaining money.
It would be about $9 mill to "rent" AJ for the second half of the year.
However, there could be a negotiation in trade for the Bengals to cover a portion of that remaining $9 mill to lessen the blow on the new team financially.

With that said, I doubt AJ Green has showed enough that a team would want him, but teams on the cusp of a playoff appearance sometimes get crazy and will look to add just that one "missing piece."

Also, AJ has a proven career, which typically increases someone more willing to trade for him, even though he's not doing much right now.

If AJ can fetch anything in the 4th round or above, you have to consider it, right?

I think for Atkins, a team wouldn't be willing simply because he isn't healthy and you don't know when he will be.
But perhaps you might be able to trade him in the offseason, as he still has 2 more years left on his deal after this year.

I'm gonna go on record right now saying that there will come a time this season where AJ will prove that the reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

I still believe his greatest value to the Bengals will be as a Bengal.
