The star edge rusher took to the media to address his frustrations with comments by a Cincinnati executive at the annual league meeting.

Trey Hendrickson took exception to Bengals executive Katie Blackburn's public remarks about contract negotiations. The pass rusher said Blackburn's comments were "disappointing."

Cincinnati figures to have an explosive offense with Joe Burrow continuing to throw the ball to Chase and Higgins, but it will struggle to compete with the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens and other AFC contenders if it doesn't take strides on the defensive side.

Trey Hendrickson, the star defensive player for the Cincinnati Bengals, is seeking a salary raise and a long-term contract extension following an impressive season. Will he reach an agreement with his team before the 2025 season begins?

The Bengals have signed wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to contract extensions this offseason, but they have not signed defensive end Trey Hendrickson to a new deal and comments from executive vice president Katie Blackburn this week didn’t do much to suggest that an agreement is imminent.

Defensive end Trey Hendrickson said Wednesday that he's disappointed and confused by Bengals executive Katie Blackburn's recent comments on his contract talks with the team.

Trey Hendrickson called out the Bengals front office on Wednesday. The 30-year-old wants a new contract and isn't happy with the lack of communication, especially since Katie Blackburn and the Bengals are hoping to sign the star pass rusher to a new deal.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals gave Trey Hendrickson permission to seek a trade last month, but he's still on the roster. Does that mean they intend to keep him this season? Are they hoping to sign him to a long-term extension?

Barbs were traded in the media across recent days, with Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn saying the pass rusher “should be happy at certain rates that maybe he doesn't think he'd be happy at.” He clapped back by saying "communication has been poor" between the two sides.
