Whistles blow, pads click, cleats clack, and Cincinnati Bengals football has begun again at Paul Brown Stadium. With rookies like Tyler Kroft, Paul Dawson, and Jake Fisher just trying to find their way around, to grizzled veterans like Andrew Whitworth, Leon Hall and Domata Peko going through what might be their final training camp, football is in the air. Sometimes, however, it’s not what happens directly on the field that counts, but behind the scenes where every move counts.
Take for instance AJ Green. The Bengals named him their top priority going into the 2015 season and all signs pointed to Green and the Bengals inking a long-term deal.
