AJ - 'franchise tag is not the best thing'

[*bengalfan74*]

I'll be quite honest, I love AJ ! he's a class act and was an integral part of Bengals teams that had a bit of relevance a few years back. If I were to make a list of my top 25 Bengals of all time he'd been on it and probably closer to the top than the bottom.

Having said that, AJ scares me, a lot. How many times over last 4 seasons have we seen him limping off the field ? He's missed nearly half of the games over last four seasons and of course all of last year.

Sure I'd like to see him finish as a Bengal, if he can stay on the field, limit snaps some ?

But first and foremost I'm for the "Bengals" And in my mind anything but an incentive laden deal is just to risky. He's no spring chicken anymore.

Same for Eifert if they're gonna keep him.
