Hopefully Bengals FO learned the lesson from Whit.
The question isn't can anyone on this team replace AJ. The question is can AJ still produce and most importantly can he stay healthy. He will want top five money to stay with guaranteed money up front. The FO knows what we don't about his injury. If they weigh the pros and cons and still let him walk then we can assume they think he will probably not live up to his new contract. AJ has been paid well for his production and his professional attitude the last nine years so there is no reason to feel bad if he leaves. The bad part is will the FO use that money, Glenn's money, maybe Dalton's money to improve the team or just pocket the extra cash?
