Green (ankle) is expected to discuss a new contract with the Chargers next week, the Times of San Diego reports.

Analysis:

Green posted a career-high 429 yards and four touchdowns last season, which marked the final year of his rookie contract. A fourth-round pick in 2012, he provides nice insurance to aging All-Pro Antonio Gates, so a new deal for Green to remain in San Diego is something the Chargers are expected to pursue soon.
