Seahawks could pursue wide receiver A.J. Green in 2020 free agency

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green is a viable option in free agency for the Seattle Seahawks, who could use a third wide receiver alongside Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

Green may be turning 32 years old this offseason, but he has still been productive over recent seasons in which he has been healthy. He missed all of 2019 with torn ankle ligaments and missed seven games in 2018 with a toe injury, but reached seven consecutive Pro Bowls prior to said toe injury. His lowest receiving yardage total in his first seven seasons was 964 in the 2016 season.

The Seahawks are also projected to have over $70 million in cap space for the 2020 season, so that could certainly help them sign Green. Of course, Seattle has other needs to tend to this offseason with impending free agencies of a few key players of their own, but this could give them an opportunity that they could potentially take advantage of.

Green will likely have several other teams looking to court him, including Cincinnati, who are expected to draft LSU quarterback Joe Burrow with the first overall pick. However, nothing is a done deal until a player puts pen to paper.
