While Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas continue to push for new long-term deals ahead of Wednesday's franchise-tag deadline, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green appears content to wait.

Green, entering the final year of his rookie contract, will be waiting until next offseason for a new deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He's due to make $10.1 million in 2015.

This doesn't come as a surprise considering Green recently said he's in no rush to get a deal done.

The 26-year-old led the Bengals with 69 catches, 1,041 yards, and six touchdowns last season, marking his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard campaign.
