Hey Geoff, Here's the Question I got for ya: I understand that we don't know if we are going to extend AJ Green or not. But do you think that the Bengals have a good chance at Signing AJ Green to a Extended Contract? Patrick Foulke, Springfield, OH
PATRICK: Yeah, I do think there's a good chance.
After fighting through all of A.J.'s "It's a business," quotes over the last six weeks of the season, I still think he wants to be here. And if he watched Burrow's deep ball in the last two games, he really wants to be here. Plus, I buy all the Larry Fitzgerald one-team stuff he's talked about. He's that kind of natural, down-to-earth guy.
I also think the Bengals know what Green means to the franchise and to a young QB. If he hadn't got hurt, he would have been extended before last year's opener. He's on the Mount Rushmore of Bengaldom and not only because of his massive talent but because he's such a terrific guy and teammate.
Now, it's not the easiest thing to put together. If you're the Bengals and your best player is a 32-year-old wide receiver that hasn't played in season-and-a-half because of foot and ankle injuries, how much do you guarantee him? If you're Green, and you haven't been to a Pro Bowl in the last two seasons after going to your first seven, how much do you take to prove you can keep doing it?
If there's a cut-and-dried answer to that, let the two parties know. But, yeah, I think it gets done. It's A.J. Green.
Can the Bengals get a third-and fourth-round round pick for Andy? Mike
MIKE: Who knows? It depends on the team and how good the fit is with Andy Dalton or a veteran quarterback. There are several teams with a link to Andy who have a regard for him. There are other teams with veteran coaches who desire a quality veteran quarterback. I think the Bengals would prefer to address the situation early (the trade deadline opens with free agency in March), but the expectation is the Bengals are going to proceed thoughtfully and won't pull a hasty trigger just to get anything in return.
I don't see the Bengals giving away a quarterback with five post-season runs and two division titles. Last year there were several trades around the draft, but it strikes me the Bengals are open to a March deal or an April deal if needed.
Comparable deals? Hard to say. Every QB and every situation is different. The Bengals would be thinking high picks not middle picks, but it's too hard to guess. That's why they'll take their time. The large crop of free agent QBs muddies it, making it hard to say how, when, or why. All teams are looking to resolve their quarterback situations in March or April before the off-season workouts start, so maybe the trade would involve moving up in the first or second round, which would be a hell of a deal and certainly possible.
So it depends. How does the QB market go and how much is the other team willing to give up? I see the Bengals keeping their powder dry until they get their value.
