The Cleveland Browns are expected to inquire about trading for Khalil Mack.
Mack is holding out in search for a new contract with the Oakland Raiders.
The Browns passed on Mack with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday that McKenzie has fielded calls about Mack.
Geno Atkins and the Bengals have committed to each other for the future, taking one of the biggest potential 2019 free agents off the board.

Jimmy Garoppolo has agreed to an endorsement deal with Jordan Brand.
Garoppolo grew up in the Chicago area.
"Since I got in the league, it was one of my dreams to be with Jordan and it came true, so I'm pretty excited about it," Garoppolo told ESPN.
Garoppolo said he and his agency began weighing various opportunities presented by Under Armour, Adidas, Nike and Nike subsidiary Jordan in the spring, just before the Niners started organized team activities.
While the Mark Sanchez era was short-lived, the Jets hope Sam Darnold becomes the next former USC quarterback to lead them back to relevance.

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to sign Aaron Donald to a six-year deal worth $135 million with $87 million in guaranteed money.
The deal is the richest ever for a defensive player.
A first-round pick in 2014, Donald was entering the final year of his rookie contract and scheduled to earn $6.9 million this season.
Donald is a three-time All-Pro.
While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are clearly the fourth best team in a competitive NFC South and face uncertainity at quarterback over the long-term, Ali Marpet is a player they'd like long-term as he enters his walk year.

The Dallas Cowboys will acquire offensive lineman Parker Ehinger from the Kansas City Chiefs for cornerback Charvarius Ward.
Ehinger was a fourth-round pick out of Cincinnati in 2016. He won a starting job as a rookie, but tore his ACL and only started in Week 17 last season.
Teddy Bridgewater is only under contract for the 2018 season, but he's open to remaining with the New Orleans Saints and learning behind Drew Brees.
The Saints acquired Bridgewater from the New York Jets earlier this week.
"I definitely don't mind waiting," he said. "For me, I get to take advantage of this opportunity to grow as a man and as a football player.
"I've been following this offense since I was in college, and to be able to be a part of it now, it's a great feeling. You watch the tape, you look at the numbers and things like that, and you say, 'Wow.' It's an opportunity to be a part of something like that.
"I don't mind waiting. I get to learn from one of the best players to ever play this game, get to be in the room with a great group of guys, get to learn from Coach Payton. So I look forward to that."
