|High School Harry| Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 https://www.fox19.com/2020/03/16/bengals-designate-green-franchise-player-extend-tender-offers-others/ By Jared Goffinet | March 16, 2020 at 12:24 PM EDT - Updated March 16 at 12:24 PM CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The Cincinnati Bengals used their franchise tag on veteran wide receiver A.J. Green while extending tender offers to four other players. Green, who is entering his 10th season in the NFL, will still be able to negotiate with other teams, but this franchise tag will allow the Bengals to retain him by matching any offer. “A.J. has been a big part of this team for a long time,” said Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor. “Now that he’s healthy, I am excited to see what he will add to our offense this year.” Green and the Bengals have through July 15 to work towards a multi-year contract. Green will have the option to sign his one-year franchise-player offer for 2020 before or after July 15. Cincinnati made tender offers to tight end Cethan Carter, guard Alex Redmond, defensive tackle Josh Tupou and safety Brandon Wilson. The tender offers will make these four players restricted free agents (RFAs) when the free agency period begins on Wednesday. Similar to the franchise tag, RFAs can talk with other teams, but the Bengals would still have the option to match any offer made to the player. All four players who received tender offers are entering their fourth season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. That's the thinking that got Bobby Hart a big contract after he was cut by the O-line depleted Giants. You look for and pay good players. Carter and Redmond don't deserve multi-million dollar deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
