The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the noisiest teams during one of the offseason’s quietest stretches. 

Those Bengals can thank having an elite quarterback like Joe Burrow making the rounds right now. But they can especially thank contract drama with first-round pick Shemar Stewart and All-Pro Trey Hendrickson. 

Here’s the latest on the biggest Bengals news items right now.

The Bengals and Hendrickson continue to talk. But the impasse hasn’t been straightened out yet, as the defensive end and his reps seem to want more long-term security than currently being offered. 

This one is going to sound familiar. The Bengals have also had more talks with Stewart, but the first-rounder and his reps are still taking exception to being asked to help the franchise reset contractual precedent with specific new language.
