I'd let him, Dalton and Glenn go and have a free agency bonanza, but we all know how Mike works. So maybe the best we can hope for is that we bring him back on a fair contract. It wouldn't hurt to have him around for Burrow's rookie year.
I'm almost as confident that the Bengals will sign AJ long-term as I am that they will draft Burrow. He will likely be a HOF member someday, and they sure wouldn't want him playing against them. Make the deal financially fair, but tie it to incentives, to avoid paying him top dollar if he isn't playing...seems simple enough to me. If AJ is unrealistic, let him see what else is out there, but a little piece of me thinks watching Burrow play down the stretch has to have him salivating.
