At this stage, fans of the Bengals of Cincinnati are looking for all the form of good news involving Trey Hendrickson and his controversial contractual negotiations in pursuit of an extension.
They saw him on the touch on Saturday while the Bengals played their pre-season final.
Several points of view captured Hendrickson encouraging and helping his teammates from the touch throughout the match.

On the one hand, this is exactly what you would like to see of a team leader, whatever the status of contract.
On the other hand, this is definitely intended to come from Hendrickson given the circumstance.
He clearly indicated that he will not play this fall for the $ 16 million he owed in the last year during his active contract.
Hendrickson also held a little at the start of the training camp. But when he arrived to participate in a restraint instead, he was almost immediately on the training field to help the first round Shemar Stewart recruit. Hendrickson did not adapt himself, but he wants to see his teammates succeed.
This should really make it even more desirable as a large signature for the property of Bengals. Hendrickson clearly appreciates what cincinnati has built and wants to be part of it.

It seems that mathematics are still a little difficult for Bengals, and that Hendrickson has not found a way to meet them in the middle.
In the meantime, Hendrickson seems ready to continue to help his team in other respects.
Obviously, his best role is on the ground, where he had 17.5 bags each of the last two seasons.
But if Hendrickson is on the sidelines, it seems that he can make a big difference from there, that’s for sure, even if he is not worth 30 million dollars or more per year.
