Magox Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The negativity around him by some here is overboard. AJ Green is still young enough to be impactful for the next few years and when healthy he has been very productive. He is not someone who has been chronically injured throughout his career aside from these past 15 months or so. For the right price he should definitely considered. If I had to take a guess what he would be worth from the Bill's perspective I'd say maybe a 2020 3rd and 2021 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had 3 years left on his deal, that'd be one thing. I'm not giving up a 3 or better to have a guy for less than a full season, then walk in FA.

Something else to factor into the cost: if Green stays in Cincinnati this year, and signs elsewhere in fa, the Bengals would almost certainly receive a 3rd round comp pick in 2021, so that probably has to be included in the compensation now. So the remaining compensation will basically amount to the value of 10 games of his services and the right to sign him to a new deal before anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 A 31 year old WR with a long list of injury history is not worth a 1st round pick. I would do it for a 2nd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just another guy now. All they have is Anderson and so ho hums. Their leading reciever is Jamison Crowder with 272 yards. Of which most of that he got against the Bills(99) and Cowboys (98). Been close to non existant otherwise. Of course now that I think of it.. they didn't have a qb between those two games so I guess that didn;t help.

To me this is a good reason to trade for him from Buffalos perspective- especially if they plan to resign their own and not spend big on FA. Trade a 4th or 5th - use him to get better this year - try to sign him at a reasonable cost or let him walk for a potential Comp pick. You can recoup most or all of your cost, but you have to know what your plan is for next FA to make this work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were playing with a 3rd string QB for 4 weeks who is now unemployed. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't. Let's put it this way then... this fanbase would crucify Beane if he traded Brown straight up for Anderson. I won't even get into the fact the Jets fanbase views Anderson in a similar way as we view Foster right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Just now, thebandit27 said: No. Anderson is really good A few people on this messageboard seem to be the biggest stans of Robbie Anderson. 941 yards in 2017 752 yards in 2018 I wont hold this year's stats against him. John Brown: 715 yards in basically half a season with Flacco last year before they went to a ground and pound/2 TE offense 390 yards so far through 5 games in 2019 He had a 1,000 yard season in 2015 Robbie Anderson certainly isn't bad, but he doesn't have the hands or route tree capabilities of John Brown.

I get there is a lot more to the position than yards but his production hasn't been anything to write home about. whats up with the Anderson love in this thread?

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I can not find anything about a trade and the OP did not offer a link other than a tweet by sometime B/R writer Mike Freeman. B/R is better than it used to be, but still tenuous as a sole source. All of the big names who break news (Rappaport Schefter etc) are silent. Meanwhile big news outlets have this: Green limited in practice, team won't rule out a return to full practice later this week and will not predict his playing status. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/10/16/a-j-green-remains-limited-in-practice/ This is not a "Jalen Ramsey Back" thing - for a non-surgically-repaired Lisfranc fracture, this is actually an aggressive recovery schedule. I am gonna lock this as we already have several news-less threads debating the pros and cons of an AJ Green trade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
