The question then becomes, what playoff contender pays the highest for him. Personally, I think he gets traded for a 4th round pick. That’s something I would pay for A.J. Green. Wouldn’t go much more given age, contract status, and injury history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 A 5th that could conditionally become a 4th depending on availability. The Bengals are going into a rebuild here shortly imo, especially if we can win the game on Sunday. They will probably look to be moving what they can for draft assets. I would give up nothing higher than a 4th though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are flat out wrong. He was dominant last year. I had him in fantasy and watched him frequently, he is still an absolute beast when he is out there. He played the first 9 games last year before his foot injury and had 46 catches, for 694 yards and 6 TD's. That is 82 catches, 1233 yards and 11 TD's over 16 games, but he hasn't been great in "awhile" lmao. I feel like you saw that Green has been out for a bit, looked at his age and just determined that he isn't a great player anymore. People can say what they want about his injuries but suggesting that A.J. Green hasn't been a top level receiver for awhile is absolutely absurd. 15 minutes ago, Rigotz said: This is probably the best idea out of the lot. Makes sense for both teams.

I guess I can kiss my burgeoning NFL front office career goodbye then, what a disappointment. Pretty bad look? An anonymous person suggesting on football fan message board trading a first round pick for AJ Green is "a pretty bad look" lol. I tremble at thought of the repercussions that will come from me looking so bad from suggesting such a thing. I feel like "pretty bad look for you" is something you probably say way too often in your life and when it really doesn't apply.

Greene is still a legit #1(still below AB and Jones i would agree but not by much). AB and Jones both played in pass happy offenses. The Ginger isn't known for slinging the rock around like that.

RyanC883 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 9 hours ago, Rocket94 said: A 3rd would be good if Green could stay healthy. He is still relatively young, and it would give the Bills time to develop another WR. I'd do a 4th, and make it a 3rd if he stays healthy. Also extend him. Then you have AJ, Brown, Beasley, and 2020 draft pick. When AJ retires in 4+ years, you still have a decent WR corp. Oh, and we still have Foster who could go in this year on 4 wide. Good luck defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR8 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 5th in 2020 with a conditional 6th in 2021 depending on performance, games played, and if we re-sign him. He's great when healthy but as has been said over and over again in this thread, that's almost never. He's hitting the "past his prime" years, but he's still a presence on the field and makes some good plays. Picture TO at the end of his career but not as healthy. I'd take a late round flier on him to round out this WR Group... but I wouldn't do much more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefenseWins Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 https://heavy.com/sports/2019/09/bengals-aj-green-injury-status-return/ I just can't see giving up much for a 31yr old WR with his injury history and needing to be resigned after this season. Maybe a 4th at best? Even if he would sign an extension immediately I'm not sure how much you could commit to him financially at this time. Doesn't sound like he would be ready to play yet for several weeks. Is he really worth the trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup...Guarantee AJ Green puts up more than 18 and 14 yards and doesn’t drop that TD pass either. I mean I don’t know how a defense can consistently defend an offense of Smoke and healthy AJ outside without Cole in the slot catching passes from an accurate and big arm QB who can also run. We could be a nightmare matchup, not to mention capable TE’s and Singletary to worry about. So I think we go to another level too. AJ isn’t even close to being done as a WR IMO either. He’s an injury risk sure, but when healthy he’s still one of the best WRs in the game. I would take that chance personally, but also wouldn't over pay either with a strong WR class next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he had surgery to repair and make full recovery? I honestly did not follow his situation that closely though. Are you familiar with his injury? Is it something that’s hard to fully recover? If it’s something problematic then yeah that would certainly raise the risk level and reduce the compensation further to risk on a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
