AJ GREEN Not 100 %....????

However, I have seen the footage of AJ Green running through the cones in warm-ups.   This idea that he has to be 100 %.  How many players are out there dinged up over the season at this point and not at 100 % health.   How many of you can call into work or school and say you aren't coming in because you are kind of OK, but not 100 %.   How often is anybody really 100 %.

All this Bengals talk that Green may play this year.  Green will not play Sunday and that leaves 3 games left in season.  Look, the Bengals didn't resign him, the man is going Free Agent to another team in a few months.  This really is a " Do you need a brick wall to fall on you ".   Greens main goal now is to go into Free Agency healthy.  That might even be Bengals goal if they get a comp draft pick if he leaves, I'm not sure if he is a comp pick status.

So it's a good bet AJ Green played his last game for Bengals somewhere in 2018.  He has had his share of injuries last few years missing games. Green and Ross are the 2 best WR's that never play anymore, and THAT adds to the 1-11 record greatly.

This isn't just me.  NFL Games on TV have shown Green running the cones before the game and then on the sidelines and game announcers have asked, " Whats up with that ".  They have added many other players are out there not 100 %.

It's all about Green, his Agent, and Free Agency in a few months.   A blind man could see it.   Had the Bengals resigned him, he might be out there, but they didn't, and he isn't.   Mike Brown and Bengals planned for this day by drafting Ross round 1. The bad news is that he never plays either.

Frankly, I don't blame AJ. Why risk an injury for an inept coach and an owner who has already presented you with his highest and best low-ball offer.
