I know the conventional thinking is a player wouldn't do that because they're playing for a FA contract, but that convention would have been expected last year too in his contract year and we saw what happened there.

We definitely got the impression AJ Green seemed distracted and/or worried about injury at various times throughout the year he was tagged.
And that was $18 million compared to "just" $12.9 mill.

It's unfortunately a risk you take when you decide to tag a player.
