A.J. Green has been one of the best wide receivers in the NFL throughout his career, but he has also dealt with quite a few health issues as well. Now, heading into the NFL offseason, Green is set to hit free agency. Many think he will end up back with the Cincinnati Bengals, but there is a chance that he could consider other options.
The Bengals have the option of franchise tagging him, although if Green expresses his desire to leave they may bite the bullet. Due to his loyalty to the organization, they may not try to trap him in if he wants out.
