A.J. Green is frustrated with his season thus far but wants to remain with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Green met with the media on Thursday for the first time since television cameras caught him apparently telling a staffer that he should be traded if the team couldn't use him effectively.

"I think we're building something special here, and I just want to be a part of the team and help us win," Green said.

Green understands the perception of a potential rift between him and Zac Taylor but said that's not the case. Green said he and Taylor had a "great conversation" and that the coach understands the frustration and what happened on Sunday.

"I think we're all frustrated about the way we're playing because we're way better than what we're putting on tape," Green said. "For me, I just have to channel that frustration and keep playing like I have for the last couple of years."
