At 23 he caught 65 balls for 1057, at 26 he caught 69 for 1047, at 28 he caught 66 for 984 and at 29 he caught 75 for 1078.
12 TDs would also be a career high. He caught 11 on 97 catches, 11 on 98 catches, and 10 on 86.
So you would need to see career highs both in YPR and TD's to achieve that. And at age 32, playing with a rookie QB, on a team coming off a last place finish.
The only way he sees those numbers, and proves to be worth his contract, is through heavy usage.
I mean if you guys want him, then more power to you. I think it's a terrible investment in a rebuilding year, for an aging, often injured player. I hope I'm wrong and you're right. But for that to happen we need to see AJ Green numbers from 2015.
I have yet to see 1 sign the FO thinks it is a rebuilding year. If the trade Geno, Dunlap AJ and other aging vets then we know, but I don;t think the FO thinks rebuilding year, but you do regardless of the evidence against it to date.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
