Still no timetable for return. He's running on a zero-gravity treadmill

Green is encouraged. Says he’s turned the corner now that boot off

AJ Green said he could play another 8 years if he’s in Zac Taylor’s offense.

“This is the most complete offense we’ve had in a while.” #Bengals @fox19

Glad to hear.

AJ saying he could play another 8 years in Zac's offense is promising.

I think we should try and get him signed long term, for 6 years, but only 3 years of guarantees, a creative contract that pays him top 10% WR money, not top 5% due to injury and production.

He ran yesterday. He's progressing well. If he comes back and beasts did we already spend part of his extension money on Gio. I like Gio but not at the expense of AJ Green

Great! I'm stashing him on my fantasy football roster!

IF Ross keeps playing well too...I wonder what that means for AJ.

I just hope we keep him.

I'd think a 2-3 year deal would be fair.

Worst Case I think we break out that franchise tag thing again.. I assume we still have one even though I haven't seen it in a while.

I just hope he is back by week 3 or 4

I've had week 4 (against the Steelers) circled in my mind for awhile. Could be close!

As far as re-signing him, as long he wants to (and it sounds like he does) I would be shocked if the Bengals let him go, regardless of Ross's resurgence.

The idea of having Ross, Boyd, Mixon and Green on the same offense led by Taylor is just...super exciting XD.

But didn't you hear? Taylor sucked as OC in Miami and UC.

Honestly, I don't know that that's a bad scenario. Get him for 1 more year. See how he holds up next year.

I still wish we drafted Metcalf too.

Man IF the Steelers lose to the Seahawks and/or 49ers...tickets to that game could be dirt cheap. I could go and rock my Esiason jersey in hostile territory.

1-2 or 0-3 and fans could bail on that team.

I think the path to contention is getting another T next year in the 1st or 2nd Round and then having that Tackle and Jonah being the bookends.

Then, see how Hopkins does at C this year. IF he keeps playing well, he's the Center.

Then, look at Price and MJ at Guard. Hopefully MJ improves as the year goes.

Then, figure out depth. I'd probably waive Glenn in my scenario for cap space. Sign Andre as a backup. Get a 4th T through the draft or free agency.

Use Miller as a backup Guard.

Just having Green on the field by the Steelers game would change things. Teams usually use two DB's to cover Green, if not, they are in trouble because Green is a contortionist and difficult to cover.

I do not know if Green will get a 6 year deal but he will get a similar, if not better, deal to Julio Jones. I also wonder if they sign Green, it would mean Mixon becomes expandable given the nature of the running game. I hope not. I like the energy Mixon brings.

This just shows the confidence players have in ZT and the coaching staff...

#Bengals WR Tyler Boyd: Once we get A.J. (Green) back, there ain’t no talking about the Browns no more.
