White Boy (Edge Rusher) Summer Update. I heard there's been real progress and positive momentum on a Trey Hendrickson deal. No timetable (very helpful) but it’s a step in the right direction as #Bengals and Trey recently re-engaged talks. Still feel good a deal gets done #WhoDey https://t.co/S9S0x30IAb pic.twitter.com/FKHG6px9aJ

We can only hope both sides can figure out the word compromise and get her done.

Ian Rapoport confirmed, this AM, that bengals sent a new contract offer to Trey within the last couple of days. Maybe they agreed on money and not years (bengals 2, Trey wanting more). With the Watt signing, maybe the bengals pushed it to 3, keeping AAV the same. I am just speculating, obviously.

"Trey Hendrickson, they're excellent edge rusher, sack leader in the NFL last year, still wants a new contract, still wants to get paid, set to make $16 million this year, not expected to play for that," Rapoport said on NFL Network. "At least a raise likely is coming. The Bengals have made several offers, including a recent one, over the course of the last couple of days. Today is a huge day for Trey Hendrickson and the Cincinnati Bengals."

It seems that while the public conversation has been very quiet, Ian Rappaport seems to beleive that the Bengals recently sent another offer to the Hendrickson camp. Let's just hope that it was a good enough offer to bring the two sides to the table for some serious negotiation.

Quote:The Cincinnati Bengals and star defensive end Trey Hendrickson continue to talk about a contract extension as training camp looms.

While nothing is done yet, it appears new offers at least keep getting sent.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Monday, the Bengals have sent at least one fresh offer to Hendrickson over the past few days.

Rapoport speculates that a contract extension could offer a big pay bump this year for the NFL’s reigning sack leader, although raises and guarantees into years beyond that remain a question mark.

As always, the impasse between the Bengals and Hendrickson stems from the team’s likely desire to limit risk on a long-term deal, whereas the player obviously wants as many guarantees as possible beyond this year.

While publicly messy at times as both parties used leverage available to them, this continues to pace toward Hendrickson and the Bengals reaching a compromise that works for both. The alternative is a team without one of the NFL’s best players and a player getting fined and harming his long-term value right in the middle of his prime by sitting out.
