Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson has requested a trade.

Hendrickson's agent, Harold Lewis, told ESPN that the defender's request is about a long-term investment from the franchise after the two sides settled on a one-year extension last year.

"Our No. 1 goal is to get a long-term commitment from them," Lewis said. "If we can't, then we're asking for a trade. And hopefully if he gets traded, that's what we do -- get a long-term commitment with somewhere else."

Last year, Hendrickson received a one-year contract extension worth $21 million, which included an $8 million signing bonus. After another season in which he was one of the league's best defensive ends, Hendrickson is looking to cash in again.

The Bengals aren't interested in trading Hendrickson, according to a source.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has reaffirmed his desire to be traded, according to a report.

Higgins first made it known that he was requesting a trade back in March as his representation continues to push for a long-term contact extension. 

He recently told local media that he anticipates playing for the Bengals this season.

"We'll see. I do anticipate (playing for the Bengals in 2024)," Higgins said. "I've grown a love for Cincy that I didn't think I would. Looking forward to it."

The Cincinnati Bengals have rewarded Jake Browning with a two-year contract.

The deal for the backup quarterback runs through the 2025 season.

After Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury in Week 11, Browning stepped in and started the final seven games and finished the 2023 season by completing 70.3% of his passes for 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins anticipates playing for Cincinnati in 2024, he told reporters at his youth football camp Sunday. Higgins, who is entering his fifth year in the league, had requested a trade earlier in the offseason after Cincinnati placed the franchise tag on him.

"I do anticipate it," Higgins said, according to video posted by WXIX-TV. "I've grown a love for Cincinnati that I didn't think I would. [I'm] looking forward to it."

Jason Kelce tried to recruit Joe Burrow to his alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, prior to the quarterback transferring to LSU from Ohio State in 2018. 

"When Joe was transferring out of Ohio State, I sent him a text on behalf of Cincinnati, trying to lure him to the university," Kelce said. "Who knows what could have been. He could have been such a great player had he just come here, but unfortunately he went to LSU."

Burrow went on to have a record-setting run at LSU that included a Heisman Trophy and a national championship win in 2020. 

The Cincinnati Bengals are signing offensive tackle Trent Brown to a one-year contract, according to a report.

Brown, 30, spent the past three seasons with the New England Patriots.

He has experience playing on both the left and right side of the offensive line.

The Houston Texans have acquired Joe Mixon from the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals had planned to release Mixon as they signed Zack Moss to replace him at running back.

The Texans entered the offseason with a need at running back.

The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to sign running back Zach Moss to a two-year, $8 million deal.

In a related move, the Bengals have released Joe Mixon.

In 14 games last season, Moss had 794 yards on 183 carries and five touchdowns. 

Tee Higgins has requested a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a source.

The Bengals placed the franchise tag on the wide receiver earlier this offseason.

Higgins said he hoped to be with the team long term, but he is disappointed that the team has not had any talks about a long-term contract extension since March 2023, per sources.

He was a second round pick in 2020.

Joe Burrow is still sketching out his recovery timeline for surgery to repair a torn wrist ligament in his throwing hand.

But if things continue to go according to plan, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback has a date set on when he should be fully cleared this offseason.

"I think middle of May is when I am expecting to kind of be cleared for full contact and everything," Burrow told ESPN on Sunday. "Over the next month (to) month and a half, we'll kind of decide all those things."
