Have they lost their minds in AZ? They've been overpaying for everyone this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man you are a strange bird. $8MM for Green? I think that could be a major bargain playing opposite Hopkins.... and this probably means Fitzgerald is going to hang 'em up.

Could mean that or they can go with Hop and Fitz and play Green part time hoping to keep him healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you seen from AJ Green in the last 3 years that makes you believe he's got ANYTHING left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this mostly, however, I don't think Green has "A LOT" left in the tank for full time use or tremendous use, as he'd breakdown quickly. But he could have A LOT left in the tank for a more limited or part time role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He posted terrible numbers last year but his play dropped off significantly once Burrow got hurt. I'd like to see what he does as the WR2 with a QB like Murray. Perfect risk/reward pick late in drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe "A LOT" is hyperbole but he definitely can play 2-3 more years at a decent level, especially considering the past few years he has seen limited usage. As a WR2/3 for ARI he could have some nice games. Perfect for like your WR4 in a best ball format or if you're deep at WR in regular formats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen he's a slower broken down mess of his former self. But unlike you I respect your opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Green on the field a ton though in 3 WR sets with decent production. This also is assuming Fitz retires, which is pure speculation on my part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some nice games last year. Maybe they are gonna go all out and go 5-wide or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see what he does as the WR2 with a QB like Murray. Perfect risk/reward pick late in drafts. Green seemed to suffer more than the other WR in CIN last year, he posted a pretty bad 45% catch rate, and was 3rd in yards behind Higgins and Boyd, none of the missed significant time. They all had between 104-110 targets, he had far fewer receptions than the others. And of course he missed 2019, and half of 2018. He may not even be a WR2 anymore (real not fantasy football). I agree the signing probably means Fitz is not coming back, and that's the role he will fill, I'd expect Kirk to continue to flourish as the WR2. He had 6 fewer receptions than Fitz and 200 more yards & 5 more TDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBalata Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I think this is a good signing for AZ. When they get in the red zone who else do they have to throw it to outside of Hopkins? AJ has the size to make plays down there at the very least. Hopkins will still get the double teams freeing AJ up. Nobody is saying he's going to return to stud status, but I think it's a perfect fit for AZ. Fitz, Kirk, Dan Campbell were not the type of guys where the qb could just throw it up in the corner of the end zone. AJ fits that bill to the T, and hes not totally washed up to be a secondary wr in the middle of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reliable EZ target you can just toss it up to for easy TDs, not so sure about that. How many of those kind of plays has he made since he came back from that injury?

stevegrab Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Cardinals GM thinks that Green "could play the Z spot for us and still has some stuff left in the tank".... from huddle news https://tools.thehuddle.com/player/4811/aj-green Of course you think that, its why you gave him a contract.

Well, last year you had a rookie qb throwing to a rookie wr down in the red zone in Tee Higgins. That's not unheard of a rookie qb throwing to a rookie wr vs the old veteran. Kinda like the 2nd string qb all of the sudden hitting the 3rd string wr he practiced with more. How about this. I'll make you a friendly little wager. AJ Green vs Odell Beckham this year. You can set the parameters. Best FF pts, ppr, non ppr, tds, you decide. A $20 paypal wager? I'm good for it. In many BOTH leagues, a baseball league. I trust you, you seem like a man of your word. Bet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
