Alphadawg7 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Anyone else seeing all these AJ Green trade rumors to the Jets all over twitter? I haven't been been able to find the source yet, but if you search “AJ Green trade” tons of talk today about rumors flying around of him maybe getting traded to Jets. Anyone see this too and have any better source links in this? Edited April 17, 2019 by Alphadawg7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamkrgr Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I wonder if they'd be moving to the Bengals spot at 11. I'm ok with them getting AJ Green. He's 31, often injured and isn't getting better. Out of all of AB, Julio, OBJ and Green he was the last one id want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Unless something significant has occurred recently to change his thinking, Mike Brown put the kibosh on any AJ Green trade a month or two ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 AJ Green is on the wrong side of it, trading any serious assets for him would be a mistake. I hope the Jets do that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Now this I would not take to kindly of. I've always like AJ and would hate to see him in a Jets uni. 2 minutes ago, CommonCents said: AJ Green is on the wrong side of it, trading any serious assets for him would be a mistake.

Logic Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Mike McCagnan is now firmly in "Save his own ass" mode, as evidenced by him shelling out tons of money to a flashy running back and off-ball linebacker. He's like a more terminal case of Doug Whaley-ism. He is collecting talent in an effort to appease the fans and ownership, but he's not building a TEAM. I look forward to McCagnan and Gase both being fired in two years. 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Green is a really good player, but WR stars don't seem to be the ones to take a team to the next level. OBJ hasn't led the Giants to the promised land, Calvin Johnson never led the Lions there, Julio Jones and the Falcons got close one year, but that's about it. The top WRs on last year's Super Bowl teams were Woods and Edelman (both good players, but not top WRs in the league). Green never got the Bengals past the 1st round of the playoffs. Thus, if he ends up with the Jests, I think we can live with that. If Darnold progresses and Bell plays as well as he did in Pittsburgh (highly unlikely), Green would make for a nice trio, but I'm still not fearing the Jests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking the same thing - gives them speed at LB and they can play him wherever he fits best. Andersons a solid consolation prize, and would work well with Boyd. And pick 3 nets you williams or Bosa - or you could move down on draft day to stockpile more assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tricky though, Green's 30 - has been banged up in 2 of 3 years and in the healthy year he didn't exactly blow the roof off of the league. He's also fairly streaky - has big games and stinkers. If I'm GM, I'd probably stick with him. The offense is sooo much better with him in there. They need help on defense more than anything else. Passing league and passing teams just absolutely carved them up. Edited April 17, 2019 by dneveu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I’d rather them get Greene and the 11th pick than a stud, franchise level defender with the 3rd overall pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Never mind the 19 FA's the Bills did sign... And I had talked previously of trading for Green. I looked at his stats the past 3 years and he's missed 13 games and in his only full season (2017) he barely eclipsed 1,000 yards. He might still be able to stay healthy and productive, but I wouldn't bet on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some how the Jets trading for one of the better WRs in the game and making their team better is just them being desperate. Only at OBD.? You said it would "look real bad for the Bills", as if a division rival being forced to trade for a 30 year old WR because they stink at drafting and their GM is on his last leg somehow reflects poorly on the Bills organization. You're a one-stop shop for pissing in people's Wheaties. Always have been, always will be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
