Did You Know... (AJ Green)

[*SHRacerX*]

We say time and time again that we have to surround Burrow with protection...Yet, how important is it to surround him with weapons as well? If AJ was not franchised and signed elsewhere, the receiving corps has no true #1 and Higgins would be relied upon to come in and make a significant impact in year 1.

Having Green for at least one year will help the offense, and more specifically: Burrow, Higgins, and every other receiving threat that sees less coverage because of the attention placed on Green.

We can argue stats all day long, but the winning % with Green as opposed to without him is nearly 30% greater when he is playing.

I still strongly believe that the Bengals want to sign AJ long term (although right now, Mixon should be a bigger priority) and since there is almost no chance they will be paying Ross next year, that money could be allocated to Green. Your top 3 WRs heading in to 2021 could be Green, Boyd, and Higgins. I really like Auden Tate, and I think he would be a very strong #4.

I can't remember the last first round pick that was drafted by the Bengals that finished his career in Cincy. I am hoping Green accomplishes that feat. If he does what he is capable of for another 4 years, he would have every Bengals record and likely end up in the HOF with Geno Atkins.

It sure would be nice to see a couple more guys in stripes in Canton.
