That's what teams do with a skill player who could be top 5 or so in the league.
If this team drafts and develops WR depth, losing AJ isnt THAT bad. If Ross would stay healthy, we wouldn't be worrying about lossing AJ to FA.
Instead, we have this situation where AJ is the entire offense and losing him is basically catastrophic.
Kinda reminds me of how LeBron's teams always have a bad record without him. Some of those teams had a lot of talent. Kyrie and Kevin Love...or Anthony Davis, Kuzma, Danny Green, etc. That said, the offense always runs through LeBron when he's on a team, so when he gets hurt, it seems his teams struggle to adapt to the sudden change on offense.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
