A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd are the only stable and consistent pass catchers on Cincinnati’s roster. They are both scheduled to be free agents after the 2019 season. In a perfect world, the Bengals will be able to extend both Green and Boyd before this season. However, if the Bengals are only able to get one signed before September, the obvious answer is A.J. Green… Right?
Green is certainly a more established and proven commodity, but the answer is not that simple. Boyd just finished off a career year, even while having a backup quarterback for a handful of games.
