They've stunk for 4 straight years while doing little to fix it, and they took a pretty big dump on his boy Andy. I think he wants a big contract to stay, or he's more than happy moving on to another team if the pay is less than what he wants.

On our end, the smart move would be to move on and invest in the lines (both offense and defense). The money we'd save on AJ Green, Dalton and Glenn would (should) be instrumental in revamping this team around Joe Burrow. You're talking around $40 million right there.

I’m fine AJ moving on if he so wishes. Has been injury laden of late he is basically Ross 2.0. Couple that with the fact in big/playoff games he always seems to have boneheaded drops or fumbles I have no problem with him moving on. He is delusional to think at this point right now he deserves a big extended contract. As someone else pointed out if he stays thr contract should be incentive heavy.
