Anyhow, on to the other subject of excessive interest, Trey Hendrickson, the latest is news is that there's really no news. Just speculation built on random comments from various media types. Though the general bent is still towards the team and Hendrickson getting something done. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2025/3/24/24393007/trey-hendrickson-contract-talks-bengals-colts-trade-rumors-nfl

Yes, putting more money into the SB (like Jefferson) instead of option bonuses means more space in the early years, since you can amortize signing bonuses, but not option bonuses, over the lifetime of the deal. And yes that also means higher hits later on. For example, both Chase and Justin could be cut by their respective teams as soon as 2027, but the Vikings would only gain $10 million in cap space versus $20 million for Cincy. It's definitely the more conservative choice but it's not indefensible. The other thing to note is that they have just a skosh under $24 million in cap space now. Cap space continues to be not really an issue.

Assuming the VA still exists by the end of the year might be...optimistic. But best of luck!

I’m sure he’s fine. Was teaching in Nashville at last report.

Seems like the Hunter extension would be the template for a Hendrickson deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44321703/source-hunter-texans-agree-1-year-356m-extension So it's a two-year, $55 million-ish deal, including the $19 million Hunter was initially set to make in 2025. So for Trey we would be looking to add something like $15 million to his deal this year and then tacking on $25-30 million in 2026. As I understand it most of Hunter's new money is guaranteed so that's an issue, as usual. And you would probably have to have a void year or two, meaning the hated (by the FO) dead money. But that's all structure. If they aren't going to do something longer, this looks like the guide.

Oregon OT dropping by. Possible second round target. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2025/3/20/24389845/oregon-ducks-josh-conerly-bengals-pre-draft-visit

Well, I hope you enjoy it. I’ve found my tolerance for not-actual-games sports stuff has declined in recent years.

Graham is a top 10 lock. If they go that direction, Grant will probably be there. But I would think they would wait until later.

Burrow is down with a trip to Spain next season. The current rumor (suppoosedly) comes from a leak from Madrid's mayor. Again supposedly, the date would be Nov. 16.

Bookface group passed along a tweet from Gridiron Grading that the Bengals are bringing Emannwori in for a pre draft visit.
