Coach Taylor expects AJ to return

[CJD]

I think the absolute bare minimum is that he'll be franchised and traded for a 1st or 2nd round pick.

More likely we franchise him and he plays on the tag for the year. Then he'll probably leave next year, since playing on the franchise tag at 32 years old is a huge slap in the face and he'd probably leave out of principal.

I personally hope they can re-sign him to a 3 year deal on 10 to 15 million per year. He is probably worth 14 to 18 million per year, but I could see Green giving us a hometown discount to account for his two injury years.

But this will likely be his last big contract, so I could also see him going for the absolute maximum amount, which would be 18 to 20 million per year.

Not sure who would give that to him though. His injuries are definitely starting to pile up...
