Trey Hendrickson and Bengals finally have a positive update in contract saga

1 week ago | stripehype.com | Jaleel Grandberry

Things have gotten pretty messy between the Cincinnati Bengals and Trey Hendrickson, but the two sides recently took a big step in a positive direction. The 2025 offseason has been a mess for the Cincinnati Bengals. While the team started the off time on a high note, extending both of its star receivers, things have gotten messy as of late due to the team’s inability to sign their star defensive end Trey Hendrickson, and rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart.

From unknown to one of the best backups in the league. While the Cincinnati Bengals would rather not have lost Joe Burrow for close to half the season in 2023, some good did come out of it. That was the emergence of Jake Browning, who, before taking over for Burrow when he went down, had been a complete unknown as a starting quarterback. Browning went on to impress in his seven starts, helping lead the Bengals to a winning record.

The Cincinnati Bengals fanbase already had some trepidation when their franchise selected a player as technically raw as Texas A&M pass rusher Shemar Stewart in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he hasn't exactly done much to endear himself to his new fanbase. Stewart has not suited up for one second in a Bengals uniform to this point, choosing to put himself in proverbial cryostasis until he signs his rookie contract.

Amid all of the offseason drama for the Cincinnati Bengals, wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is apparently looking to add to the controversy, but not how you think. Chase already has his contract. That's not the issue. But, when asked about the Bengals' slow starts in recent years, Chase had this to say at his latest OTA practice:"It sounds like we need to play in the preseason, huh?"Well, let's just open it up for debate right off the bat, shall we?
The Joe Burrow-Ja'Marr Chase connection is already turning heads at OTAs

As the Cincinnati Bengals went into OTAs, they still faced a couple of lingering questions -- big questions, I might add. While fans could have been worried about the likes of contract situations such as Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart, quarterback Joe Burrow and his favorite wide receiver wasted no time offering an exciting change of tone.
NFL finally hints at change after Joe Burrow fumes over schedule trend

Wait, the league actually listened? After the 2025 NFL regular season schedule was released, Cincinnati Bengals fans weren't thrilled to see the team scheduled to play in Baltimore for a primetime game for the fourth straight year. Joe Burrow wasn't shy about vocalizing his frustrations with this scheduling gaffe, noting that playing in Baltimore in primetime for four years running "isn't ideal". Well, the NFL heard Burrow's remarks and have responded.
Bengals keep proving nobody should trust them (not even Joe Burrow)

Things are not going well for Cincinnati Bengals pass rushers Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart. One is a veteran who isn't able to get the money he feels he's worth, and the other a rookie who can't even get his initial contract sorted out. Regardless, the actions of the Bengals with both of them have made it abundantly clear to Joe Burrow: they are not to be trusted.
Former Oklahoma star is quietly on the Bengals' chopping block

As the Cincinnati Bengals look to get back to the playoffs (and hopefully the Super Bowl), their rushing attack needs to improve mightily. The passing game is clearly on point and will be lethal for quite some time with Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins all signed to long-term extensions. Now it's time for the run game to get back what it once was.
PFF's laughable Ja'Marr Chase ranking is the latest piece of Bengals disrespect

1 month ago | stripehype.com | Mike Luciano

The Cincinnati Bengals fanbase has likely accepted the fact that Joe Burrow is a top-five quarterback without a legitimate claim to the title of QB1 across the NFL for the time being, but one bridge that is too far for this group to cross is downplaying the exploits of star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. Declaring the former top pick the league's No. 1 wide receiver after leading the NFL in catches (127), yards (1,708), and touchdowns (17) in the 2024 season seems like a no-doubt statement, right?
Joe Burrow throws shade at NFL schedule-makers over one frustrating Bengals trend

He's right, ya know. The 2025 NFL regular season schedule has been released and Cincinnati Bengals fans couldn't help but notice one frustrating reoccurring theme. For the fourth straight year, the Bengals will head to Baltimore for a primetime game, which annoyed Joe Burrow. When speaking to the media recently, Burrow made sure to point out that his team is now headed to Baltimore for a primetime game for four straight years. He begged the schedule-makers to change that next year.
