Nate Burleson throws out Pats, Raiders, Dolphins as A.J. Green landing spots

The fate of A.J. Green in free agency is one of the more interesting NFL storylines this offseason with the Cincinnati Bengals wideout set to hit the market.

Nate Burleson on GMFB tackled the topic recently and suggested three new landing spots for Green: the Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.

Two make plenty of sense based on past behavior. Both the Raiders and Patriots rolled the dice on Antonio Brown while trying to help along Derek Carr and Tom Brady, respectively. Those Patriots have a fruitful trade history with the Bengals, too.

Speaking of trades, Miami makes a ton of sense if things escalate to a tag-and-trade scenario given the wealth of assets the front office there managed to hoard.

No matter how sensical these options seem, keep in mind the likeliest scenario is Green returning to the Bengals. Whether it’s a tag or outright extension, the Bengals aren’t likely to let Green get away right when they need his talents to help along a rookie passer.
