He's going to need the benefit of veteran receivers who not only know and understand the NFL game, but have the ability to modify their own game, to aid a rookie QB getting settled in.
He'll have to develop chemistry with whoever we have at wide receiver, AJ offers no specific benefit for Burrow over any other good veteran. Which is why I'd rather let AJ walk and find another veteran with a better injury history. Especially since he claims that to stay healthy he'll skip all the OTA's and maybe training camp if he doesn't get what he wants, so there may be little opportunity to even develop chemistry between them.
Really soured on AJ over this year with his lack of ability to get on the field and more recently his comments regarding his contract expectations.
We'll see i guess. He's just too risky for me.
