Bengals' A.J. Green gets contract worth $19.6 million, all guaranteed
On Thursday, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green became the first top-10 rookie to sign a contract. According to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the deal is four years long and worth $19.6 million -- all of it guaranteed. Green, the fourth pick of the 2011 draft, is expected to step right in and be a starting wideout from the beginning.
Fantasy Analysis:
Green will be asked to produce right away. Whether he'll be the No. 1 option or playing with Chad Ochocinco remains to be seen. But don't put a lot of stock in Green this year. He'll have to catch passes from either Andy Dalton or Bruce Gradkowski
. I think Dalton should be the starter, but regardless, Green is probably going to be very inconsistent. He's going in the early parts of the ninth round on average in mock drafts at mockdraftcentral.com. That's about right.
