The Bengals managed to sign three of the four players specially appointed by the quarter-Arrière Joe Burrow during his campaign to bring the team to break the piggy bank for the key members of the list. The last standing man is the defensive winger Trey Hendrickson.
And the Bengals continue to dangle the situation.
Yes, it was intelligent to let it look for a job. This helped him realize that no other team would be willing to pay him what he wants and to give the Bengals the commercial compensation they would have sought. But now that the commercial ship has sailed, it is time to conclude an agreement which replaces the last year of its current contract, which pays $ 16 million this year.
To say Hendrickson that it is up to him to be satisfied with their best offer is not the way to repair the fences. He could tell them exactly the same thing: “I think they should be happy at certain rates That maybe they don’t think they would be happy. I think some of them are on them to be happy at some point, and if it is not, you know, this is what sometimes holds it. “”
Hendrickson clearly surpassed his contract. It undoubtedly deserves a new agreement. However, Penny Penny Bengals are watching, once again, to pinch money.
If anything, they probably feel emboldened by the transactions they have concluded with the Ja’mar Chase receiver, the Higgin receiver and the tight winger Mike Gesicki. Everyone ended up being a good deal for the team. Why not try to go four for four?
The wishes publicly (and probably communicated publicly) of the quarter-Arrière Joe Burrow hang over the Hendrickson agreement. Bengals could hope that the “Get Happy” atmosphere will extend to Burrow. They could also hope to score points with Burrow, Hendrickson and / or the fans by pushing the idea that the offer to Hendrickson would do it “the most rich Bengal defender of all time. “(If so, Burrow, Hendrickson and the fans should answer with two simple words:” So what? “)
So what will Bengals do? They probably hope that Hendrickson will finally become satisfied with the current offer, which we heard in the range of $ 28 million a year. And they also hope that if Hendrickson does not become happy, Burrow will not renew his public (and private) efforts to bring Bengals to change their ways.
