The Arizona Cardinals made a bit of a splash just hours before the official start of free agency. The San Francisco 49ers' division-rival is signing former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green, pairing him with DeAndre Hopkins, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The seven-time Pro Bowl selection is reportedly signing a one-year deal worth up to $8 million.
The #AZCardinals have now agreed to terms with WR AJ Green, source said.
Cincinnati drafted Green (6-4, 210) out of Georgia with the No. 4 overall pick in 2011. He registered 47 receptions for 523 yards with two touchdowns through 16 games with the Bengals last season after missing all of 2019 with an ankle injury. The receiver missed most of the end of the previous season with a toe injury.
Green has caught 649 passes for 9,430 yards with 65 touchdowns through his 10 NFL seasons. While his last 1,000-yard season came in 2017, the 32-year-old wideout racked up over 1,000 yards receiving in six of his first seven years in the league.
