Cincinnati Bengals government vice chairman Katie Blackburn’s remark about contract negotiations with Trey Hendrickson clearly upset the star edge-rusher.
Hendrickson is getting into the ultimate yr of his contract in 2025 and in search of an extension. On Tuesday, Blackburn stated, “[Hendrickson] ought to be joyful at sure charges that possibly he does not suppose he’d be joyful at,” through 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 stated. “That was just a little 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 … just a little irritating.”
