The Bengals have signed wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to contract extensions this offseason, but they have not signed defensive end Trey Hendrickson to a new deal and comments from executive vice president Katie Blackburn this week didn't do much to suggest that an agreement is imminent.

We have all the respect in the world for him. He's been a great player. We're happy to have him. And so maybe we'll find a way to get something to work. We're just gonna see where it goes.”That was the quote that really got people fired up.

Hendrickson went on 'The Pat McAfee Show' to address the stalled contract talks and Blackburn's comments that he 'should be happy' with certain rates.
