Trey Hendrickson publicly calls out Bengals amid contract dispute

Trey Hendrickson has been seeking a new contract from the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason, and the star pass-rusher made it clear on Monday that the two sides are nowhere close to reaching an agreement.

Hendrickson ripped the Bengals in a statement he issued to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The 30-year-old said there has been no communication between his representatives and the team for several weeks and that the Bengals have shown a “lack of interest” in signing him to an extension.

“No communication has taken place between my camp and the organization post draft. The offers prior to the draft did not reflect the vision we shared and were promised last offseason if I continued to play at a high level,” Hendrickson wrote to Schefter. “Coaches are aware of these past conversations. Rather than using collaboration to get us to a point to bring me home to the team, THEY are no longer communicating. I have been eagerly awaiting a resolution of this situation, but that’s hard to do when there is no discussion and an evident lack of interest in reaching mutual goals.”
