The Bengals<\/a> aren’t safe from Steelers<\/a> veteran DT Cam Heyward \u2014 even in the offseason!<\/p>\n

One of the biggest stories in the NFL at the moment is how Cincinnati has mishandled contract negotiations surrounding one of the league’s best edge rushers \u2014 Trey Hendrickson.<\/p>\n

On the podcast Not Just Football with Cam Heyward<\/a>, the Steelers DT wasted little time sacking the Bengals over the situation. Co-host Hayden Walsh jokingly asked Heyward to make a public service announcement about paying Hendrickson instead of using all the money on offense, and this is what the Steelers veteran had to say:<\/p>\n

“They don’t have enough money,” Heyward laughed. “I dare you to go pay him.”<\/p>\n

The Bengals recently spent over $280 million extending star WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, making contract negotiations with Hendrickson near impossible \u2014 but necessary, as Cincinnati’s defense couldn’t afford to get even worse after a disappointing 2024.<\/p>\n

Will Cincinnati take Heyward’s dare, or should the Steel City focus be on the Steelers re-signing their own star edge rusher, T.J. Watt, whose contract is set to expire after the 2025 season?<\/p>\n
