The Cincinnati Bengals and wide receiver A.J. Green have agreed to terms on a four-year extension worth $60 million, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Green is the latest wideout to sign a mega-deal this offseason, following in the steps of Demaryius Thomas, Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, and T.Y. Hilton.

Green's new deal adds four years to the existing year remaining on his rookie contract for a total of five years and $70 million. It appears nearly identical in structure to the deals Thomas and Bryant signed ahead of the franchise tag deadline.

Since the Bengals selected Green fourth overall in 2011, the lanky pass-catcher has snagged 329 passes for 4,874 yards and 35 touchdowns and been selected to four Pro Bowls.
