But when you’re a franchise that people spent months trying to convince said QB to pull an Eli on, I think tagging your #1 WR is a good move if that makes him happy. And it doesn’t stop them from bringing in someone on the OL. If they wanted Peters, Warford, or whoever they could afford them with Dalton’s money off the books now. Also you’re dreaming if you think AJ is bringing back a 2nd. This is the same kind of talk that Dalton would absolutely bring back a 3rd or 4th...
Just look at the return Nuk Hopkins got. I realize BOB is a moron, but still.
I get what you’re saying and you’re right about the Eli thing. Burrow hasn’t actually signed yet too. I love me some AJ but I really see it playing out as AJ playing half of the year, the Bengals getting nothing for him and nothing else added to the line. The team already gets an A for its free agency, I’m just being a bit greedy while this weird Bengals offseason still last. I get your points and I’m not saying that you’re wrong.. A healthy AJ would be awesome for 2-3 more years. I don’t think it plays out that way but I hope that it does.
