The difference with this Free agent haul

When he came into the league in 2011 there had only been 26 total 1500 yard receiving seasons (by 17 different players) in the 90 year history of the NFL.  In the nine seasons since it has been done 20 times by 13 different players (never once by Green).

Green is 7th all time in NFL history in receiving yards per game, but just 6th among active players.

I haven't read every post in this thread but in a way I'm with you on the AJ thing Fred. I'm still leery of paying him 18 million on the tag.

From 2011-15 AJ averaged 83 Rec. 1,234 yards, 9 TD's and only missed 4 games.

From 2016-19 he's averaged 47 Rec. 684 yards, 4.5 TD's and has missed 29 games. It's been quite some time since he played at an elite level (2017 he was good) and he'll be 32 before this season starts.

I'd love to see AJ come back and help Burrow. Question is can he return to even 2017 form ? I just have my doubts he can stay on the field.
