Bigger question is... do they WANT to be extended? It's a two-way street, and depending on how the 2019 season goes, AJ Green will have gone from 5 straight playoffs, to 4 straight losing seasons, and Tyler Boyd has yet to ever see a winning season in the NFL.
If the Bengals have a 4th straight losing season, AJ Green might take a look at his age (31 this coming season) and realize he only had one good contract left in him to do achieve with his career. He might go chasing the trophy.

Also AJ is great, but he won't be the greatest Bengal WR ever. That's still Chad Johnson all the way. Chad Johnson had a stretch where he was the most consistently dominant WR in the league. Don't forget with all the Ochocinco antics that Chad Johnson made THREE straight 1st Team All-Pros from '04-'06. (Green has 0)
2003-2007, Chad finished 4th, 6th, 3rd, 1st, and 3rd in receiving yards in the toughest defensive division in football. (In '04 the Steelers, Browns, and Ravens had the 4th, 5th, and 10th ranked pass defenses, respectively. In '05 the Browns, Ravens, and Steelers were 4th, 8th, and 16th.) Guy was going against Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, and STILL dominated.
Never forget how absurdly good he was.
