Johnny Nix Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 From all the reports And the video of him on Bengals.com, it doesn’t sound like AJ plans to skip training camp for a new deal. Sounds like he is trying to schedule a get together to throw with Burrow and the new receivers which is great to see. He had a lot of positive things to say about both Burrow and Higgins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him balling out this year and earning a big pay day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 It kind of makes sense really. If he doesn't mesh with Burrow and Burrow develops that trust with Higgins, Tate, Boyd, Ross, etc... without AJ there, it could hurt his numbers, which AJ will desperately need after being hurt the last 24 games.

Johnny Nix Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 I pray we hang onto Auden Tate, but he’s technically WR5 at this point, I could see him being inactive unless there are injuries. Those final spots are usually special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that's his motivation. He's a pro, and would show up regardless to be the best AJ he can be. The other stuff is a nice secondary motivation only.

It boggles my mind that some think we HAVE to keep a WR active for teams. Erickson can do that. Tate isn't going to be inactive unless he's dinged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
