A.J. Green

Since breaking into the league, A.J. Green has been one of the elite players at the wide receiver position, but injuries have slowed him down the past two seasons.

Green missed seven games in 2018 with a toe injury. In 2019, he suffered torn ligaments in his ankle that caused him to miss the entire season. The Bengals went 2-14 without him.

At 32, it’s hard to tell what type of player Green can be due to durability concerns. However, for the Jets, Green may be worth the risk due to the talent he possesses and past accolades that point to him being a consistently dominant presence.

For his career, Green has 602 receptions for 8,097 yards and 63 touchdowns. With Green being on an eventual Hall of Fame path already, it’s unlikely that he would be willing to go to a situation where competitive football isn’t guaranteed. While Green is a perfect fit for Sam Darnold, the risk may be too high if New York would have to overpay for Green’s services.

Like Cooper, Green is a potential franchise tag candidate, as Cincinnati might want to keep the No. 1 WR with a young, franchise quarterback of their own.
