This is relevant to us for a few reasons.

Pats were one of the teams rumored to be interested in AJ. Highly unlikely they'd need him now.

What we don't know is whether or not they approached us with an offer and were rebuffed, or if they decided Green wasn't worth it due to his injury, or if they just liked Sanu more - which is hard to fathom.

AJ Green is 10x the WR Sanu is, and he fetched a 2nd. That means we should, at the very least, be able to expect the same or better return for AJ.

Ultimately none of this matters because the Bungles won't do anything.

The fact they got Sanu rather than Green and gave up a 2nd rounder for him indicates one of two things to me:
1) They weren't comfortable with AJ's health
2) Mike Brown didn't feel the offer was enough

Given the Patriots are 7-0, I doubt they'd worry about not having AJ for a few more weeks given they are pretty much a lock for the playoffs.
So I'd bet Mike Brown was overvaluing his players, just like he refused to take the two 1st rounders for Chad back in 2008.

All I'll say is if Green comes back and ends up helping win a few games this season to knock the Bengals out of the top 1-2 spots in the draft, I'll be a little irritated. I dislike the late-season winning when the team is already out of contention.
