It is very possible that it plays out that Mike signs him to a 3 year deal and AJ could very possibly struggle with injuries each of those seasons. He’s a 32 year old receiver that has had major feet and leg problems recently. Injuries and age both indicate that he won’t get as much separation in the future. He seemed to have had more balls go through his hands that should have been catches last year. He should’ve been traded and now he’s gonna be back on a long term deal. Make no mistake, MB will overpay and other organizations aren’t going high dollar and long term with the red flags. I love what AJ has done in the past but if you’re expecting production like 4 years ago, you’re probably gonna be in for a surprise. He now is a bad investment in my eyes. Disagree? Would you want to bring in another 32 year old free agent WR at max money, with his recent history? The fact that AJ is so loved clouds people’s judgement. He now is a very risky investment!

So was signing Geno to the deal we did, and I didn’t see you complaining about that. Sure, Geno hasn’t had many injuries, but he’s also a shell of his former self, and nowhere near worth the amount of money we’re paying him.

AJ actually goes out and wins games for us when he’s on the field. I wouldn’t give him Julio money, but I’m absolutely fine with bringing him back. Maybe 3 years 45 million. He’s a difference maker, and whoever our QB is the next few years he will need him. We’re seeing how bad Dalton struggles without his star WR to make him look good.
