The contract standoff between the Cincinnati Bengals and star defensive end Trey Hendrickson remains in neutral -- both in terms of the outlook and actual news coming out.
The Athletic's Dianna Russini recently provided a post-draft update of sorts, saying that there are still "really good vibes coming out of Cincy" when it comes to a Hendrickson extension.
An extension has felt like the likeliest outcome for a while now in the wake of the team granting Hendrickson's request to seek a trade. As expected, nothing materialized from that because of his age, trade asking price, and extension asking price.
