That would be a lie for me to say that.  As much as I want Bengals to win, Mike Brown and front office need to get with it before camp starts this month.  Super Bowl runs begin the first day of camp.  They need to get this contract garbage over with and have a camp focusing on winning games only. Winning first game of regular season instead of losing in September and then trying to play catch up. It would be a lie for me to say everything is fine and Hendrickson and the #1 pick are both definitely playing for Bengals.  As of now they are not playing this season, and Mike Brown and Family will lose again this season if they don't solve this so team can focus on practice and training and not contracts. It's just wishful thinking and denial to say everything is fine with Hendrickson and top pick and they are playing.  Bengals front office is now into July and they really need to get with it now, or else they will start the season losing as usual.

The bengals are just trying to do what the teams before and after the Stewart pick did for their incoming rookies. Put another way, if Stewart was picked one spot ahead or one spot after, he would have signed the deal. The bengals are not trying to do anything different than the rest of the league does. Just something different than the bengals have done in the past. It’s as if they woke up and said, hmm our old way of doing business was not mutually beneficial, but now we want that true partnership, like others have. You can’t really fault the FO for that. ESPECIALLY, after the Burton drama last year.
