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

“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.”
