Cincinnati Bengals Executive Vice President Katie Blackburn is currently in Palm Beach, Florida at the NFL’s annual league meeting. While in attendance, she sat down with some local reporters, including The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr., to discuss everything from some potential rule changes to the current makeup of the team.
Eventually, the conversation turned to the looming June 30 deadline to exercise the first of five two-year lease extensions, keeping the team in Paycor Stadium and in Hamilton County.
Unfortunately, for those who were hoping for good news that the county and the Brown/Blackburn family were making progress, that wasn’t the case.
