Details on Hendrickson’s extension are out. https://overthecap.com/player/trey-hendrickson/5689#google_vignette Bottom line, no cap savings this year, cap hit goes up next year. (Tho they can cut him next year and save $12 million vs. the cap.) From the link: Trey would have a cap hit over $20 million next season, so if our new first round pick works out this extension feels more like a parting gift.

Yeah they’re dicking around with something again, atm you appear to need the app.

Baby again: Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson dealing with an undisclosed lower body injury, per Zac Taylor. Will be something to monitor through the week. https://www.threads.net/@bbaby41/post/CvX-eRzxyoq/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== ugh.

Baby: Here’s something interesting: Jackson Carman might be pushing Jonah Williams at RT https://www.threads.net/@bbaby41/post/CvX3uz1xN2_/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Like I replied there, these things can happen when one guy wants the job and the other doesn’t.

Sinnett officially signed, Cochran moved from PUP to IR.

Apple to the fins.

Update: they are sign8ng QB Reid Sinnett https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/bengals-to-sign-qb-reid-sinnett

Rapien says he pressed Taylor on that and Taylor got pissed and walked away. In any event yeah, Burrow had some tightness/soreness after the first practice which was why he was wearing the sleeve.

Bengals signing another arm for camp, likely Drew Plitt, who was here last offseason. https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/bengals-working-out-familiar-face-following-joe-burrow-calf-injury Another indication Burrow’s camp is over.

Yeah that seems to be the general consensus here in the peanut gallery. Likely they will be very cautious so as to avoid reaggravating it.

Bell extended through 2026. https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/david-bell-reds-extension

“Several weeks” per Taylor. FWIW google tells me recovery time for a calf strain is anywhere between 3 days and 6 weeks depending on severity. Bottom line, sounds like Joe misses camp again…hopefully that’s all.

Another from the “guys we talked about” file. Schefter: Former Pro Bowl guard Trai Turner, who just signed this week with the New Orleans Saints, tore his quadriceps and is out for the season, per source. https://www.threads.net/@adamschefter/post/CvQArpSu1Ob/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== That sucks.

It’s still not really clear if they saved anything against the cap. What little has come out so far says that he got a $5 million raise this year (2023), no change to his compensation in 2024, and another year — 2025 — at $16 million. Basically, at least as far as this season goes, it sounds like they just took the money and space they got from Mixon and gave it to Trey. But we’ll see when the details come out.

Look, his gramma just died, cut him some slack…

My mom had a saying, “don’t borrow trouble.” So I’ll stow the speculation and just wait and see.

Glad I’m working from home today because a drink is clearly indicated right now…

Thought 1: Man, we can’t get just one uneventful camp for Joe, can we? Thought 2: hat tip to Amphar. This is why you get the deal done asap.

Cool. Now do Burrow.

Being able to retire at 27 is a nice consolation prize.

Critical breaking news! Bengals announce Official Cookie! https://www.fox19.com/2023/07/27/bengals-official-cookie-announced/ Someone needs to investigate in person!

Had some medical issue, seems ok from Taylor’s comments. No details but that isn’t surprising.

Here’s Trags’ roster projection. Let me say unlike him I don’t see any trade at RT. https://www.clnsmedia.com/bengals-beat-bengals-2023-camp-53-man-projection-2.0-built-for-super-success
