If you don't think that the Bengals would be doing him a huge favor, by offering him 3 years at $12/per, then I might suggest that you might be out of touch with reality. I don't see AJ getting "top tier" money, anywhere in the FA market. Sure, some team might offer him $15M for a one year deal, but nothing close to what Julio Jones just got signed to. As you already mentioned, his health is a serious question mark, and will have a bigger impact on his market value than many board regulars are ready to admit.
Simply put, he's worth more to the Bengals for the things he's accomplished in his career, than he is as a "hired hand" on any other team.
I think AJ wants top tier money thus is the one out of touch. I could handle 3/$12m.
We'll see what happens.
