The Facts: Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas got paid. Green feels like he's now at the front of the line to join his star contemporaries. "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," he told Fox10tv.com. "My time is coming."

Diehards Line: Both Bryant and Thomas signed five-year, $70 million extensions last week, clearly defining the market for superstar wide receivers. Green certainly fits that description, and he's set to enter the final year of his rookie contract. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Green is the Bengals' No. 1 priority and both sides are talking, according to team sources. Green had initially indicated he'd like to wait a year before signing an extension, but he's now more open to doing business after the Bryant and Thomas deals. It would seem that the Cowboys and Broncos have essentially done the work for both sides. Don't be surprised if Green has a very similar deal in place by Week 1.
