Trey Hendrickson on Offseason Narratives, Contract Status With Bengals

Transcript

00:00What narrative or narratives have been the most false this offseason

00:04or have been out there that not bother you the most

00:08but that you want to clear up the most?

00:12Man, that's a great question off the top.

00:15I think, you know, the assumption of we had a predetermined notion

00:20of what I would be able to get in a trade value is not –

00:25there's no way of us knowing that.

00:27We were told what we were looking for

00:29and if it was five first-round picks, I would have agreed.

00:33It allowed us to figure out my value across the league.

00:37Not only that, but personally, I was able to see what value I could bring to other teams

00:43and this team as well.

00:46Fortunately for me, a lot of the guys I've represented

00:48or have represented their teams at the Pro Bowl were all there with me.

00:54Daniil Hunter, Miles Garrett, Max Crosby.

00:56I've gotten to know those guys over the last four years

00:59and through that, their teams have respectfully rewarded them

01:03for the hard work and dedication and willing to win that they had

01:08for their respected teams.

01:10So that was the one that didn't sit well with me, you know,

01:12that narrative of, like, we guarantee something.

01:15That's not possible to do.

01:17And, you know, we gave it our best, but selling myself short

01:22is not something I was planning on doing in that process.
