2020 NFL Free Agency: Early predictions for top 25 players

7. WR A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals

2019 Salary: $15,176,000

Where he will sign: Buffalo Bills

It’s been a tough year for the Cincinnati Bengals, and it’s going to get even worse when the offseason arrives. They’re facing the potential loss of their star wide receiver A.J. Green, who is headed for free agency and seems ready for a change of scenery.

I’m sure the Bengals will make their pitch to retain Green, especially with plenty of cap space available in 2020. However, I just don’t see the dynamic pass-catcher opting to stay with the team that’s been with throughout his entire NFL career. It’s been fun, but Green needs to land with a team capable of competing on a weekly basis.

That’s why I’m predicting he joins the Buffalo Bills during 2020 NFL free agency. They have a significant need at wide receiver with John Brown and Cole Beasley currently serving as Josh Allen’s top options. On top of that, they’ve got the money to afford Green and can offer enough upside as a contender with a dominant defense.

This may not be the absolutely ideal landing spot for an aging veteran like Green who’s coming off a season lost to injury. And yet, it’s a situation in which he can come in and help the Bills field a well-rounded, productive offense.
