I'm not going to beat them up for paying him. They got a chance to see what he had without a long term commitment. That was obviously an expensive route to go, but probably the safest. While a decline in his play could have been expected, I don't think anyone envisioned him being as ineffective as he has been in 2020. There are times that he doesn't look like he belongs on the field anymore.
AJ said he'd play if he was tagged, but he wouldn't be happy about it. I'm paraphrasing, but that statement echoes every time I watch him make a low-effort play, fail to high-point a ball, or run some obviously incorrect route. He never should have said that, because now it really feels like a Bengal great who was once beyond reproach is sandbagging because he missed out on a fat contract on the open market.
if he takes a bargain deal to play for a contender and has a bounce-back next season, it will be a bad look for him as a person among this fanbase.
