Apr 25, 2024 8:43 AM

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."

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson, Seeking Long-Term Deal, Requests Trade

Apr 25, 2024 8:33 AM

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.

Apr 24, 2024 8:39 AM

The San Francisco 49ers have said several times this offseason that they want to keep Brandon Aiyuk over the long-term, but a new report goes against that.

An Aiyuk trade hasn't been ruled out and "anything's possible," according to Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The 49ers reportedly want a 2024 first-round pick for Aiyuk.

Jerry Jones Preaches Patience On Deals For Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb

Apr 24, 2024 8:28 AM

Jerry Jones is preaching patience as the Dallas Cowboys still don't have long-term deals in place for Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons.

"If you've got trouble with when the timing is around here," the owner said, "it's because I'm not ready to go."

Prescott's contract runs out after the 2024 season and the quarterback said last week that negotiations have not really started. Lamb is set to make $17.99 million this year on the fifth-year option and is eligible for the franchise tag next offseason. Parsons is under contractual control through 2025 and then eligible for the franchise tag.

"You may be working on [contracts] and not moving anything but your eyebrows," Jones said. "Who in the world would think that we're not working on it? I work on it. It pops up at 2 in the morning sometimes. What you're actually questioning is why don't you have something done and negotiated and put in the drawer? Well, we'd like to see some more leaves fall. We'd like to see some more action."
