CINCINNATI -- Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson said the team has cut off contract talks amid a dispute regarding a new deal.
In a statement given to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday, Hendrickson said that "no communication has taken place between my camp and the organization" following the NFL draft in April.
Hendrickson also said that the offers presented by the Bengals "did not reflect the vision we shared and were promised" if he continued to play at a high level. According to Hendrickson, discussions toward a new deal have stalled out.
"Rather than using collaboration to get us to a point to bring me home to the team, THEY are no longer communicating.
