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.

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.

The Bengals have insisted they want to retain the NFL's reigning sack leader but allowed Trey Hendrickson to seek a trade. Heretofore, neither a trade nor an extension has come to fruition as the NFL draft approaches.
