With the Bengals having exercised their fifth-year option on wide receiver A.J. Green, they joined a host of other teams that have opted to lockup their 2011 first-round picks for an extra year. Players who don't have their options picked up will hit NFL free agency in 2015.
Here's a list of which teams have exercised their options ahead of the May 3 deadline to do so.
