Not that it should register as much of a surprise, but Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson sounds like a possible third-place finisher for the team behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins when it comes to contract extensions.

Though it could have been unrelated or him simply having fun with the whole situation, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins appearing to comment on his contract status with the team has created a wave of reactions.

There was understandable outrage when the Cincinnati Bengals announced their intention to use the franchise tag on Tee Higgins for a second time. One year of forcing Higgins to stay in stripes on a guaranteed deal was one thing—two years feels excessive.
