If they haven’t changed the rules (and if I remember correctly), once he signs the tender, that money is guaranteed and he and the team can not negotiate a new contract until after the season.

 

A team and tagged player have until July 15 to agree on a multi-year deal. After that, they have to wait until after the season.

Well you would know how healthy he was by then

Ideally yes. He'll have to pass a physical after signing his franchise tender. If he doesn't sign the tender, he has no obligation to the team. If he does sign the tender while demanding a multi-year deal, he might skip mini camps so the team might not get a chance to see if he's back to form or not.

I thought I read that once a player signs the tender, he must go to all team practices/mini-camps...which is why many hold off for some time before signing.

Green can be fined for skipping but that's all the team can do.

Regardless of how you voted, what would a team have to offer for you to be willing to trade AJ?

[spicoli 361]

I'd be pretty happy with a 2nd. Ecstatic if they threw in a 4th.

 

Hard for me to believe he's ever going to be the same player we were used to seeing. 

[T-Dub 7,312]

If he is traded I would expect whatever pick(s) we get to be conditional on how much he plays.

[sparky151 459]

I'm shopping him in a mock offseason for a tag and trade. Asking for a low first, early 2nd in value. Only team to inquire so far is Ravens. I guess Harbaugh's thinking is if you can't cover him, sign him. If we don't trade him, I'll give him an extension but apart from signing bonus, each season will be for veteran minimum plus incentives plus per game roster bonuses. If he stays healthy and productive he could earn 102 mil over 6 years but it will likely be a 2 or 3 year deal.

I haven't really read through this thread, but I heard on the radio the other day that the patriots were interested in Andy and AJ.. 

2nd and 3rd/4th would be fine with me...

 

are the Pats really moving on from the goat?

Saw an article and didn't post ... SPECULATION of

 

Sign and tag AJ.

Trade him AND Andy as a package deal to the Patriots.

Or anyone else.

Plug in and play veteran quarterback and wide receiver duo.

Not gonna happen but something to goof on.

There's been a lot of speculation in Boston and Kraft and Brady want him back but Belichick doesn't. 

IMO, they were a good TE and WR away from another Super bowl.

I wouldn’t trade A.J. to the Ravens or any AFCN team for anything less than 3 first round picks. 5 for pit.

I was going to offer him for the Ravens 2nd plus Justin Tucker plus Patrick Ricard. ZT doesn't use a fullback in his offense but I fired the coaches in my mock.

Is Denzel Mims a replacement fot Gteen?

Down the road maybe. Ceedee Lamb and Jerry Juedy are really the only two guys in the draft that are at or close to that level right out of college, IMO.

I wad thinking Mims in round three..pribably too high but think he ll be gone in 4th..

Hell he might be gone earlier..

Read a report on him...

Crazy but he reminds me of Jordy Nelson

who i wanted as a Bengal when he came out..

I think the fact that this is a very talented WR class makes our decision on AJ much easier. As I've mentioned the Transition Tag makes the most since, but before we applied it I'd communicate to him we're willing to sign a 1-year incentives laden deal to give him a chance to re-prove himself. Out side of that he can walk hobble out the door.

Agree....incentive only..im not trusting his health at all..fragile now..

I think he's gonna put on a show at the combine, Top 60 wouldn't surprise me at all.

Drafting a WR at 2-1 with quality LB & OL still on the board sounds like the Bengals thing to do

 

edit:  then we draft another in the 6th round, who outplays the 2nd rounder, has a great preseason, then gets cut in favor of Ross.

So much this.

Like I said, Mike never met a wide receiver he didn't love.

Plausible. Also may draft two 6-4 highly athletic WRs that can’t catch nor run a route.

There might be an OL worth the pick. It’s much less likely a LB worth 33 will be available. There are only 3 as of now, one of which will go in the top 10. The other 2 have been gone by 28 in all of the “expert” mocks I’ve seen.
