Green's an excellent player and as safe a trade target as there is in the league. He'll take coverage away from Cooper. So the trade helps Oakland if they have decent replacement options for Penn and Hudson. 

Similarly, the Bengals O-line was terrible last year and we're basically looking for several new starters. Replacing Ogbuehi and Bodine with 2 pro bowlers is massive. Main concern is how much longer Penn will play at a high level. But he's 2 years younger than Whitworth who we should have kept. Bengals carried 7 WRs on roster last year and it's time to find out if Ross can play. LaFell and Boyd are fine as WR2 and WR3. We may add a vet or draft another WR for insurance. But we couldn't run any kind of offense last year with the O-line we blithely thought would be fine despite losing Whitworth and Zeitler. With Marvin Lewis fired in this sim and replaced by Jim Bob Cooter, we'll see what can be done without Green.

 

Wouldn't it make more sense to spend draft capital where you're in a prime spot to land a top OL on a cheap rookie contract or... money in free agency to fill a spot or two? Makes more sense to do that than trade your best, most proven and consistent weapon on offense? I don't think Ross will ever be a #1 WR and Boyd doesn't seem to have a peak beyond a WR2. So you just created another hole. Just my opinion of course. I could be biased because I love AJ Green and think very highly of him.
