Le Tigre Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Just read Bleacher Report's "Do it for AJ...Do it for the Children!" plea for a trade. Usual schlock: he's done here...he won't go anywhere here...he deserves it...blah blah. Naturally, on cue, trade him to the best teams out there: Seattle/Green Bay and...wait for it...#teamslikethepatriots. The writer only speculated on one place (Seattle) which would make any sense for all concerned: a 2nd rounder and they have the cap space. The other two only were mentioned for their abilities to "make them better"...no benefit to the Bengals. No talk of any mid-level potential contender teams, who might have more to offer, but what else is new? Fire sales are great on paper...the Tampa Bay Rays have made it a science (sell off all assets and then become good after a short time). The NFL--and our franchise in particular--rarely see this. At this juncture--which was an approaching freight train long before the season started--it really doesn't matter what they do or don't do.

He has a surgery repaired big toe on one foot, and a surgery repaired ankle on the other. No one will trade for him. Sadly, this is probably him and Dalton's year together. This is just silly, maybe Dalton doesn't have much trade value but AJ is respected around the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Harley| Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 AJ Green will never play another down for the Bengals. He is an UFA. There is no reason to make any comeback and risk injury this year. Any decent, compassionate person could see he’s given his life’s work to this organization. It would be a crime to waste all his talent on this team any longer. He’s been a model citizen. He’s no diva. Let him go and salvage his career with a winning organization and root for him all the way. I will. If a trade was possible in which you could get more value than comp picks, go for it.

Let him go and salvage his career with a winning organization and root for him all the way. I will. If a trade was possible in which you could get more value than comp picks, go for it. All the touchy feely aside, the reason to trade him is to pick up a high draft pick period. I don't care where he goes other than a team in our division. You can send him to the Redskins or Jets as long as we get a good pick out of it. Once the trade deadline passes, he will be worth zero to the Bengals unless they plan to resign him which I think is a mistake. Sure, it would be nice for him to go to a great team and finally get the national recognition he deserves but that should not be a goal. Get the best pick and that probably would not be with the Patriots who have little cap space anyways. Seattle makes more sense. AJ has been a great player but he has never had any big Larry Fitzgerald moments for this team like Fitz did in 2008 for the Cardinals. All-Pro 1400 + yards regular season, 546 yards and 7TDs in the playoffs that year to include 127 yards and 2 TDs in the Super Bowl. No, not AJ's fault but it is what it is. AJ has had 1 post season TD in 4 games. As much as I like the guy, I don't hold him in the same regard as Chad. Chad dragged us out of the dark period and for the most part was entertaining as hell. Kids were wearing Bengals gear like crazy back then. Get what you can and use it to fill one of the gapping holes all over this roster that will take time to fix.

|Harley| Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 AJ has never been used right. Go to him until they can stop it. Put him with a great QB and an OC that’s willing to use him to his full capacity and he would kill it. Send him to NE - Randy Moss II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather he go to the Colts or Detroit, teams I don't thoroughly despise. It would be cool if Detroit made a playoff run considering how bad it has been there for so long. Indy would be ok too. The Colts currently have $45 mil in cap space so they could do a trade and sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those draft picks are money in the bank! If we stockpile enough draft picks we might get lucky and replace 1/2 the talent we traded for draft picks. Championship!

|westside bengal| Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Of course we could keep doing it the Bengals way and let them leave in FA and get a 5th round comp pick like they did Whitworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluhartz Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I sometimes listen to Golic and Wingo during my drive to work. This morning little Golic was saying the Bengals should trade AJ to the 49ers.. That would make some peoples heads explode... lol I would be all for it btw if it's their 1st rounder or 2nd and 4th or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Comes down to this. What does he want to do? Is he willing to stay if Dalton is no longer the QB? If he wants to stay, he stays. If not, trade him to a contender in the NFC for the best we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
