Bengals receiver A.J. Green isn't interested in playing for another team.

Green, who's entering the final year of his contract, has played all eight seasons of his NFL career with the Cincinnati Bengals.

"Cincinnati is home for me," Green told reporters on Friday. "This is home as much as South Carolina. All I know is Cincinnati.

"I can't see myself playing anywhere else or playing in a different city. Hopefully, I can be here for a couple more years. We'll see on that part."

Bengals owner Mike Brown hinted at a forthcoming extension for the 30-year-old earlier this offseason.

Green suffered a toe injury in 2018 that led to seven missed games. The veteran said he's been medically cleared to return to the field when the Bengals begin mandatory minicamp on Tuesday.

The seven-time Pro Bowler has recorded 1,000-plus receiving yards in six of his eight NFL seasons, with two injury-shortened years the only exceptions. He posted 46 receptions, 694 receiving yards, and six touchdowns in 2018.
