A.J. Green 'comfortable' with current contract, won't ask for more money

Despite his recent public backing of Julio Jones' desire for a new contract, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green will not follow in his fellow 2011 first-round draftee's footsteps.

When Green signed his contract extension with Cincinnati in 2015, he became the NFL's highest-paid receiver. He's now sits at sixth highest but insists he's not looking for a new deal.

"I think the biggest thing for me, I'm always comfortable with stuff I'm doing - I signed a deal and I'm comfortable with the deal and I just live with it," Green told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "After that's up, we go back to the board. I don't really get caught up in what's the money like because I signed my deal and it was the highest paid at that point. It's going to always go up. So you can't keep up with that."

"At the end of the day, I just want to play football. I got my contract. I'm set for life. Now I can just go out there and play."

The seven-time Pro-Bowler will turn 30 years old in July, and his current contract is set to expire in 2019. Green caught 75 passes for 1,078 yards and eight touchdowns in 2017, the sixth time he's eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark in seven seasons.
