Trey Hendrickson is present at Cincinnati Bengals offseason workouts. The key word being present. Hendrickson spoke to the media for nearly 25 minutes on Tuesday as the Bengals' voluntary OTA session was open to the media.

Contract negotiations have not progressed between the Cincinnati Bengals and star defensive end Trey Hendrickson. On Monday, Hendrickson said in a statement to ESPN that no communication had taken place between his camp and the Bengals' organization since the NFL draft.

The Bengals used the No. 17 pick in last month's NFL draft to select Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart, potentially preparing for life without Hendrickson. The 30-year-old told reporters, "Circumstances changed post-draft. They’re starting to change very openly."
