No so sure Ziggy's price will match his production and a liability against the run also.

The good news is they have the money to pay a quality player a 1 year prove it deal or 3 or 3 guys 3 million a year each.

I like the idea of signing Penn to a 1 year deal to play OT for us in 2019.

He needs to prove he can play in 16 games before we give him a 3rd huge contract. I believe he is through 2020 also already. I don't think Gio is a priority either. He has not done much for years either.

Boyd definitely and Boling as well.

Many believed cutting Burfict was the right decision. It appears we now have around 36 million left for 2019. Of that 11 million for draft picks and 5 million for injuries, that gives us around 20 million left by my calculations.

Edit: These numbers do not reflect Eifert 1 year deal as those numbers have yet to be reported.

We have the money, what will we do with it?

I'm not worried about AJ Greens injury history and he's still playing at a very high level so of course you resign AJ Green...

(03-18-2019, 05:51 PM)Luvnit2 Wrote: My mistake, yes it was over 3 years. Nut why extend him now? He is signed though 2020 already. I know some are enamored with AJ Green potential, but potential means nothing if you are sitting out hurt at practice or games and leads to poor results (production) for at one time highest paid WR in the NFL.

So, you say matter of fact sign AJ, I say it is debatable.

(03-18-2019, 05:54 PM)Synric Wrote: No hes only signed through 2019 It's not potential AJ Green has proven he can play at at a very high level and has a healthy career.

PS The Bengals put AJ Green on IR just after Andy Dalton even though he was injured a week or two before Dalton. Seems like he was gonna play through his toe but they opted to IR him after Andy went down.

That's a lot of Hall of Fame WRs playing right now.

(03-18-2019, 07:23 PM)THE PISTONS Wrote: Agreed. He's REALLY good, but not HOF. Not sure I agree he's overpaid as WR's tend to command a premium so it's really hard to say.

I posted the stats to prove it in another thread.

There are receivers like Hopkins who have went over 1500 yards multiple times in less years. Green hasn't went over 1500 a single time.

(03-18-2019, 07:41 PM)Luvnit2 Wrote: WR's are getting paid a ton more each year. As Fred pointed out since being highest paid at one time, AJ is 8th highest.

My concern extending AJ is his asking price. If he is reasonable and has a great 2019, I hope we sign him, but big if on how much he feels he deserves.

(03-18-2019, 07:42 PM)THE PISTONS Wrote: You have to definitely factor in that he will decline sooner rather than later. Especially his game that is based on jumping and athleticism.

If you want to ply the Bengals cheap narrative at least be objective. MB is paying 2 coaching staffs in 2019 and likely will spend almost to the cap, then roll over to 2020 unused cap money as he has done since new CBA years ago. I know that shoots your cheap narrative down, but it is the facts.
