Roughly a week removed from the very public exchange between the Cincinnati Bengals and star defensive end Trey Hendrickson during the messy contract dispute, an insider has offered his take on the same show.
Appearing on Pat McAfee’s show to start the week, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport again stressed the point that the Bengals want to work something out with Hendrickson.
"I believe the Bengals would like to keep and pay Trey Hendrickson,” Rapoport said. “We'll see if that happens and I still think that it's very possible"
The week prior, Bengals brass commented publicly on the Hendrickson situation at NFL league meetings, which prompted Hendrickson to hop on McAfee’s show and stress his disappointment over poor communication from the team.
