The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... The Bengals have extended the contract of one of their Pro Bowlers by one season. According to Albert Breer of NFL Media, the Bengals have picked up the 2015 contract option on Green.

Diehards Line: Teams have until May 3 to pick up the fifth-year option on their 2011 draft picks. Green is now slated to make $10.176 million in 2015, according to NFL Players Association data, a significant raise from the $3.06 million he is due in 2014. That Cincinnati picked up the option is no surprise. The No. 4 overall pick in 2011, the 25-year-old Green quickly established himself as Cincinnati’s go-to target. The next issue for fantasy football owners to watch for will be talks on a contract extension. It remains to be seen if the Bengals will be looking to do that.
