The Cincinnati Bengals and star defensive end Trey Hendrickson have still not worked out a contract extension to keep him on the team even after he was granted permission to seek a trade.
The signs have seemingly been pointing to the Bengals not retaining Hendrickson. First off, Cincinnati signed receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to big new deals while the three players were often grouped together as stars the Bengals all wanted to keep. Then, Hendrickson aired his grievances about the Bengals having "poor communication" with him about a contract. And, finally, the Bengals drafted Texas A&M defensive end Shemar Stewart in the first round of the NFL draft last week.
