Quarterback Joe Burrow realizes that the team has a history of ramping up talks as the regular season approaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think historically, these deals with us <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KelseyLConway\/status\/1957651231205167508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">have gotten done closer to Week 1<\/a>,\u201d Burrow told reporters after Monday night\u2019s preseason game against Washington, via Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer. \u201cI signed on the Thursday before the first game. J\u2019Marr [Chase\u2019s talks] started to pick up, you know, that week before last year, too. We were able to Tee [Higgins] and J\u2019Marr early this year, so that was great. But I think historically, the way we\u2019ve done business is and that tends to pick up here in the next two weeks, so we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Burrow\u2019s preference comes through in the answer. It\u2019s \u201cgreat\u201d to get the deals done early, like the Bengals did with Higgins and Chase.<\/p>\n<p>And while the NFL is a deadline-driven business, the deadline when a player is holding in shouldn\u2019t be Week 1. It should be tied to the practical deadline for getting the player ready to go for Week 1.<\/p>\n<p>Hendrickson skipped the offseason program. He hasn\u2019t practiced during training camp. He can\u2019t just sign a contract on Saturday and suit up and play on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>So when should they be getting it done, in order to have him ready to help the Bengals get off to the kind of fast start they haven\u2019t enjoyed during Burrow\u2019s career?<\/p>\n<p>How about, you know, now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will the Bengals and defensive end Trey Hendrickson get a deal done?
