CINCINNATI — It's all quiet on the Trey Hendrickson front regarding new contract movement for the star Bengals edge rusher.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport did offer the latest on the situation during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, noting the two sides have been in contact throughout the past month.
"I think that was by design that everything went quiet," Rapoport noted. "He made his point, I think it was received, very received. There has been some communication between the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson since that interview, since the draft, there have been talks. [The Bengals] picked Shemar Stewart off the edge. I think he understands that.
"I think they want to do a deal. Now, a trade I would never rule out a trade, because the NFL trades could happen literally at any moment ... But I think they want to keep him. The Bengals sometimes function maybe a little slower than some organizations, but they do want to keep him and do a deal."
Cincinnati has gone through multiple voluntary workouts this week without Hendrickson as the offseason program begins to ramp up.
Having him around to mentor Stewart and establish a larger leadership role would be ideal for 2025 success, but business is business as Hendrickson starts the program away ahead of his final contracted season.
