In this story:

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals are signing Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to record-breaking four-year extensions that will keep them in the Queen City for the rest of their prime.

Those deals will officially be announced on Tuesday afternoon.

What about Trey Hendrickson? Is he next? Will the Bengals sign the NFL sack leader to a new contract?

In the video below, I'll discuss Hendrickson's current contract, the Bengals' side of things and why a long-term deal between both sides may take longer than most expect.
