The Cincinnati Bengals took a victory lap of sorts after agreeing on massive contract extensions for Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Is Trey Hendrickson next?
That remains very much up for debate, but one thing is certain -- there would be more victory laps if Hendrickson gets a massive contract extension of his own.
It's a good point illustrated by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on a recent appearance with Pat McAfee. While outlining the current situation with the Bengals and Hendrickson, he suggested that getting a deal done would be a way for the team to send a message, too.
"They would like to pay him," Rapoport said. "And I think they would like people to stop saying, 'why don't the Bengals pay their guys?' Because they do. And I think getting Hendrickson done at a money and a value that makes sense for both sides will be a great way for the Bengals to be like: 'see.'"
The Bengals do pay their players, of course, but the how is one of the big questions around the Chase and Higgins contracts right now.
As for Hendrickson, the Bengals have a massive price tag on his trade cost and don't really want to move him. With the trade market dried up and his contract value seemingly set, the two sides can get back to the table and, as mentioned, possibly work something out that seems fair for both sides.
