Cincinnati Bengals government vice chairman Katie Blackburn’s remark about contract negotiations with Trey Hendrickson clearly upset the star edge-rusher.
Hendrickson is coming into the ultimate 12 months of his contract in 2025 and searching for an extension. On Tuesday, Blackburn mentioned, “[Hendrickson] ought to be pleased at sure charges that possibly he does not suppose he’d be pleased at,” by way of the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Kelsey Conway.
In a Wednesday interview with “The Pat McAfee Present,” Hendrickson replied to Blackburn.
“The one factor I hoped was an April Fools’ joke was that article,” Hendrickson mentioned. “That was a bit disappointing, as a result of communication has been poor, that is one thing I maintain in excessive regard. They haven’t communicated with my agent immediately. It has been … a bit irritating.”
