Appearing on Pat McAfee's show, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network updated the contract standoff saga between Hendrickson and the Bengals by saying that talks are ongoing between the two

Amidst his offseason holdout, Trey Hendrickson and the Cincinnati Bengals continue to be in communication about a new contract, but very little progress has been made.

“I think that was by design that everything went quiet,” Rapoport said. “He made his point, I think it was received, very received. There has been some communication between the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson since that interview, since the draft, there have been talks. [The Bengals] picked Shemar Stewart off the edge. I think he understands that.”
