A.J. Green Rumors & News

The Bengals haven't always been well represented on lists of the top players in the league. However, with the success they've had in the draft and on the field they have gotten quite a bit more exposure in the national spotlight. Pro Football Focus recently came out with their top-100 players of 2012 and there are three Bengals on it, but that's not the big news. The big news is one of those three is in the top five. No. 99: FS Reggie Nelson Jaguars fans will be disappointed to see Nelson here after he failed to live up to his drafting in Jacksonville. Since moving to Cincinnati he's ...

If you've payed attention to the billion mock drafts that we've published since the end of the season, you know that the Benglas aren't locked in to picking one particular player or position like they have been the last few years. We knew the Bengals were going to draft a cornerback and guard in 2012, A.J. Green in 2011 and we figured it would be Jermaine Gresham in 2010. This year, it could be a safety, a running back, an offensive tackle, a cornerback, a defensive end or a linebacker. Hell, they could trade back or take a punter for all we know (they won't). This is a good thing. Th...

Everyone on the blog knows about the Cincinnati Bengals, thanks to the annual game the Bengals and Houston Texans have been playing in January. They're a good young team led by the Pride of Katy, Texas (I'm required to refer to quarterback Andy Dalton as such by higher powers) and the unstoppable A.J. Green. On the defensive side of the ball, those young Bengals are led by one-time TDC draft crush, and the league's second most dominant interior force, defensive tackle Geno Atkins. Enough introduction though, McKnight299's stepping to the podium with his pick and explanation and he has ...

A.J. Green is arguably the most talented player the Bengals have ever drafted. He is amazing and everyone knows it. Replacing him isn't possible; keeping him for a long time is the only sensible course of action. Does it matter how much he costs? It shouldn't. He will command Megatron money, and, in NFL terms, it will be well deserved. All compliments have been laid at his feet and he continues to be an effective role model in every way. What life would look like for the Bengals without him, though, is rarely discussed. He is not injury prone, even though he did miss a few games...

In the second round of the Madden Cover Vote Tournament, all 49ers candidates won their matchups. Jerry Rice and Joe Montana both won by wide margins, while Colin Kaepernick edged out A.J. Green.

When you consider Marvin Lewis' comments at the annual league meeting in combination with the Bengals' indifference to signing a free agent wide receiver, it's easy to see that the team really likes what they've got in WR Mohamed Sanu. Before suffering a foot injury on the Thursday leading into week 13, Sanu was on pace to become a full-time presence across from A.J. Green. He had just scored four touchdowns in the previous three games and looked to finally lock-down the #2 receiver position. His foot, however, had other plans. Luckily, his rehab is progressing on time and Geoff Hobson...

EA Sports' Madden franchise is arguably the biggest video game year in and year out, selling millions of copies world wide, despite the fact that the game is pretty much the same every single year. Every year, they choose a new player to grace the cover of the game and while they used to select a player based on their outstanding performance the season before, for a couple years now they have been letting fans vote on who gets the cover. This year there are two brackets. One is a current player from each team while the other is a former player. The Bengals are represented by wide recei...

The news that the Chiefs re-signed wide receiver Dwayne Bowe to a five-year deal worth $56 million, with $26 million guaranteed, got me thinking about A.J. Green and what we can expect for him when the team's able to extend his contract. Of course, they can't extend his contract until next season, but with what Green has been able to do on the field in his first two seasons leads me to believe he is, without a doubt, one of the top five receivers in the league. While there's no question that Bowe is talented, he hasn't produced the way that Green has. He hasn't even been close. Green h...
