It signifies the helmets with the special radio receivers used by QBs. They use them to get the plays called into them. It is a way for the NFL and the team to better keep track of which helmets have this feature.

The green dot sticker on the back of helmets is used by the quarterback to show that he has open communications on the sideline. If you pay closer attention... often times the defense captain on the field(often the middle linebacker) also has a green dot, because he too has communication with the sidelines.

Anyone with a communication device in their helmet (like the QB) has to have a green dot on his helmet.
