If AJ wants to get another big bite of the apple, he will HAVE to not only play, but excel. If he doesn't, his next deal will be worth that much less. If he does, the Bengals have an asset that they could either sign long-term and let him finish his career here, tag him again if they can't come to a realistic deal, or (unlikely) let him go and get a 3rd round compensatory pick for him.
I would wager he would produce in that one year, albeit in a forced "bet on yourself" season.
We will see what AJ is willing to take cause it cannot break the bank. His injury history should scare every team, not just us.
Incentive laden contract is all he should get whether it is here or somewhere else.
Not on board tagging him and him sitting hurt again all year for a crazy amount like 18 mil.
