Prior to his training camp ankle injury, the buzz around A.J. Green was about whether or not the 2011 first round pick would get a contract extension before the season started. Green is entering the final year of his deal. His running mate Tyler Boyd got a four year $43 million extension two weeks ago.
To be fair, there has been nothing to this point that suggest this will be a difficult negotiation. Both Green and Bengals owner Mike Brown have expressed a desire to keep Green in stripes for life.
Still, when you consider that the Bengals were seemingly content to lose guys like Marvin Jones, Andrew Whitworth, and Mohamed Sanu to free agency, you have to wonder about Green.
