I like AJ but I can see him turning into a TO, Antonio Brown Type real fast....same goes for DK Metcalf
AJ is legit a top 10 WR. Borderline top 5. No matter what you think of this class, it's unlikely they are going to be as good as AJ.
If there is a legit choice between Jeff and AJ, AJ is gone 1000x out of a hundred. Not even close to comparable for importance to the team success and actual planned usage.
No he’s not. Top 5 borderline or top 10.
Even if he is, the titans don’t use him as such so he’s not worth paying like a top 10 WR.
isn't Antonio his cousin anyway? or am I thinking of Marquise?
Marquise is I believe
If AJ wants to get paid let’s see him play an entire season with no injuries!
This is all true, but the players are only thinking about themselves, not the teams or the NFL. Which isn't a bad play, because you only have a few years in the league, get it while the getting is good. Yes, there is value in winning a sb, with long term endorsements. But, it's still not a bad idea for players to get there money now. And imo, aj can get it somewhere else and we'll take 3 or 4 picks
Yes this is such an obvious arc for him.
And I actually can see him getting traded.
There's smoke here and people acting like is all a nothingburger doesn't make sense when we literally just saw two WR1s get dealt by legit Superbowl contenders.

Top 10 in receiving TDs among WRs since he came into the league. Top 15 in yards. And this with missing 7 games over the last 2 years and playing in the most run heavy team in the league with Tanne at QB.
Breakdown by year
2019 -16 games, 61 in catches, 24 in yards, 29 in YPG, 9T in TD
2020 - 14 games, 32 in catches, 16 in yards, 14 YPG, 5T TD
2021 - 13 games, 45 in catches, 32 in yards, 20 YPG, 40T TD.
He’s not top 10, certainly not borderline top 5.
Respect to Metcalf and Mclaurin for actually caring about their team and their personal development. I'm now one foot on the "trade AJ" train.
I genuinely think this may be Tannehill and Henry’s last year as Titans. If we play our cards right at QB, we may be in good shape moving forward. That’s why I’d like to take a shot on someone like Howell or Corral at 26.
Not necessarily true. A lot of players using social media well. Look at our very own Derrick Henry, who not only was in the same contract situation, we actually Franchise Tagged him first, and he signed it in good faith. No drama, no BS. He trusted the team. He got paid.
I don't think so. While I get the "it's a business and look out for yourself" concept, there's a balance between being a smart business person and being a greedy hog. Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered.
I'd love to hear some examples where being a diva worked out. It certainly didn't work out Le'Veon' Bell. Antonio Brown got a ring but he significantly hurt his pocket. That's not smart business. Adams and Hill didn't act like Divas. Diggs, Christian Kirk, Mike Williams? I don't think they're divas. Maybe you can say Diggs was diva-ish when he requested a trade but I don't remember it being dramatic.
It's crazy how quickly this board has changed from: "no way in heck we trade AJ" to "Meh, might as well get rid of him". The only thing that's changed are the things he's said and done. It's been what, two weeks? Not smart business. DK and Terry Mac said they'll still participate with their teams. Both are in worse situations than AJ.
I say if he's asking for $20+ and we can get a 1st plus additional picks, good riddance. Can't invest that much into potentially lingering knee issues. My only concern is now that now we've lost some leverage because of what he's said.
I think it may well be Tannehill’s last year, but not Henry’s. The draft will tell us a lot.
I think it’s why so many people love Henry. I think he’s more the exception than the rule though. I think AJ Brown is closer to the “norm”.
Not sure if diva is right for Rodgers, but I believe he got a big payday before winning the SB.
that said, you’re absolutely correct, there needs to be some balance with a player going after a higher payday and keeping the team in mind.
I don’t think that’s an easy task either. Not only is there no “set” pay amount, but the organization is always going to push for the least amount a player is willing to accept.
while there is injury risk as well, I just don’t think Tennessee’s offense can afford to invest all that much into WR, they just aren’t used enough and it doesn’t seem there is any chance there is a 100 catch 1300 yard guy in Nashville any time soon. I’d argue those are at least the goal numbers for someone getting $20+ mil/season.
Deebo would take as much or more than what Cheetah's trade cost.
