Although Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green repeatedly stated in the past that he wants to finish his career with Cincinnati Bengals, that is becoming less of an option with each week of the 2019 NFL season.
Bengals are currently sitting at 0-5 record, and the word around the league is that they are strongly considering moving some of their veteran players. Green, who is approaching the end of his deal, is arguably their biggest asset, and trading him would likely help the team to accumulate badly-needed draft capital for an impending rebuild.
And while Green has been a subject of trade rumors for weeks now, he insists that this talk hasn’t got to him yet. But, if something happens, he will be ready for that.
“I tell everybody I haven’t heard anything,” – said Green while talking with Bengals’ official website. “I don’t fantasize about anything like that. I’m just trying to get healthy and go from there. I’m prepared for anything. A trade’s not going to change who I am. I’m still going to play. I’m still going to be A.J.”
A.J. Green is one of the best receivers in the game when healthy, but injuries have slowed him down lately, which could affect his trade value. Green missed almost half of the 2018 season due to a toe injury and has been dealing with an ankle injury that prevented him from playing in 2019. With that being said, if Bengals decided to put him on the market, there will surely be no lack of interest in his services.
