The Cincinnati Bengals have repeatedly stressed this offseason that they plan to lock up integral stars Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson. However, one of the three remains without a long-term deal.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson could still be an option for the Washington Commanders this offseason.

Barbs were traded in the media across recent days, with Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn saying the pass rusher “should be happy at certain rates that maybe he doesn't think he'd be happy at.” He clapped back by saying "communication has been poor" between the two sides.
