No talk of IR for AJ. Zac still confident he'll play this year.

If you're an NFL GM looking to sign FA's, you definitely aren't going to be looking to sign guys that would just shut it down because the season it lost.  If the team is in a down year, a couple more wins down the stretch may be the difference in whether you have a job next year or not. 

I don't think AJ is shutting it down because the season is lost so much as he's shutting it down because the Bengals as a franchise are lost.  I still doubt his next team is going to hold it against him for putting them/himself/his next team/contract above the latest Mike Brown foray into futility.

It's just speculation, but crappy owners who can't or don't care to fill their stadiums hit all the owners in the wallet so I can't imagine Mike Brown and his habit of kicking back while the rest of the NFL drags him along resonates too well with the other owners.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't see other owners getting upset that AJ Green might be hitting that nepotistic leech in the wallet for the sake of being 100% for his next team.

What needs to be said that hasn't already been said?  How many high profile Bengals players have left here on good terms during the Mike Brown era?  AJ would likely have gotten his arse in gear if MB and company could be bothered to put anything but the dead last worst NFL team on the field this year.  What's the point?  Why should he try any harder than the boss man?
