Who here says Mike Brown screws this up? Raise your hand!
It is a shame how this team went so far south that we had to get rid of AJ Green and probably some of the other guys that are fan favorites just to plug the holes that should've been fixed in the offseason. I wouldn't see the point in buying season tickets when they probably won't be good for quite a few years. On AJ, I think he would be a very intriguing pick up for some team. If he had a Brady, Brees, Mahomes, etc. throwing to him, how good would this guy be? Dalton has a tendency to throw up jump balls for AJ rather than hit him in stride, thus leading to more chance of injury. If the Pats take him, look out, because they'll just kill everyone.

Well, that's my take...I can't read AJ's mind but geez. Hard to fault the AJ’s and Whit’s of the world when the front office shows ambivalence to excellence. Until the ownership/front office changes, this team will continue to be an also ran, at best getting a Wild Card spot and losing.

What is rough is that things seem like they are finally going to turn a corner like in 2005 or 2011-2015 and then they just fall back into blech.

Underperforming vets who are eating up $3+ mill cap: AJ Green (not on field) - $15 mill Dre Kirkpatrick - $11 mill Cordy Glenn (not on field) - $9.25 mill CJ Uzomah - $6 mill Bobby Hart - $5.9 mill Preston Brown - $4.7 mill Shawn Williams - $4.5 mill Darqueze Dennard (not on field) - $4.5 mill Tyler Eifert - $3 mill ----------------------------------------- $63.85 mill going toward players who aren't on the field or underperforming on it

His best shot at a ring in 2019, I think is in SF. Put him on a very good team that only lacks a true #1 WR, but had great OL, good QB, best TE with Kelcie and great running backs, SF needs to make it happen for their fans.
They should give us their 1st and 3rd in 2020 to secure AJ.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Bundle him with Dalton

I am one of the biggest critics of the whitworth debacle, but that was because he showed no signs of slowing down. Green has been injured quite often recently, so I wouldn't be upset to not pay him 20 million going forward. Love the guy, but it is probably time to part ways since we are nowhere close to being competitive right now. I do think mike brown and company will screw it up somehow though..

Trade him and act fast. For once the fanbase is all in on a firesale so no hard feelings.
Hate to say it but he's not on Julio and MT level so I have to side with the Bengals FO on this one. Quote:"Success doesn’t mean every single move they make is good" ~ Anonymous

Me to Lets hope ZT is in his office right now telling him the only way we're going to fix this team for next season is to trade AJ, Dalton, Geno, Carlos, Kirkpatrick, Glenn, and others to build up as many draft picks as possible.
