The Cincinnati Bengals are now on the clock.
No, it’s not NFL Draft season. What it is, though, is time for the Bengals to get moving and put their money where their mouths are.
Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt got paid and paid massively on Thursday afternoon, signing a three-year, $123 million contract extension to become the highest-paid non-quarterback on a per-year basis.
Bengals All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is seeking a contract extension himself, and he has made it abundantly clear that he will not play on the $16 million deal he is under contract for for the 2025 season.
