AJ Green has insisted that his "time is coming" for a contract extension as he heads towards the final year of his rookie deal with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The wide receiver, who was a first-round Draft pick for the AFC North side in 2011, has amassed 4,874 receiving yards and 35 touchdowns in his first four seasons in the league, making the Pro Bowl each year.
The 26-year-old told Fox TV: "All that contract stuff doesn't really bother me, because when you put in the body of work I've put in, it speaks for itself. My time is coming.
"It's always what great athletes dream of, to finish with the team that gave them their first opportunity. Cincinnati is a great place. We're a great team that can be good for a long time. We got a lot of young talent. It would be great to stay there, I want to stay there. I think they're going to get something done."
The Bengals have made the playoffs every year since drafting Green, but are yet to win in the post-season with the 26-year-old.
