Another Hendrickson contract projection has rolled in, this time with Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport predicting a three-year extension worth $103.5 million: “If the Bengals have legitimate aspirations of a deep playoff run, they need to figure out a way to get a deal done with Hendrickson. But with each passing week, that appears less likely.”

The Cincinnati Bengals and star defensive end Trey Hendrickson are back talking about a contract extension. The report comes from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, who confirmed the two sides have opened up the lines of communication again on a contract extension.

Cincinnati Bengals fans finally have some reason for optimism regarding a potential resolution with their superstar pass rusher, Trey Hendrickson.
