AFC Notes: Trey Hendrickson, Aaron Rodgers, Bengals, Browns, Ravens, Steelers

Bengals

  • Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson says โ€œnothing has really changedโ€ regarding his situation with the Bengals, despite his decision to end his holdout. (Matt Verderame)
  • Bengals QB Joe Burrow: โ€œTrey (Hendrickson) is going to be a big part of our team this year.โ€ (Jeremy Rauch)
  • Hendrickson said his cards are on the table and it’s up to the team to come to an agreement with him on an extension: โ€œIโ€™m a firm believer that hard work works. What Iโ€™ve done in the last four years, five years, eight years in the NFL is done. I canโ€™t do any more at this time except to rush the passer on Sundays. The hay is in the barn. Itโ€™s whether we agree or not.โ€ (Verderame)
  • Hendrickson said he always planned to appear for training camp and something happened to change his mind and spark his short holdout: “Prior to leaving for Florida, I spent 30 days in Cincinnati so the goal was always to be in Cincinnati. Some things transpired that became public. There was never something where I wasn’t going to be here.” (Kelsey Conway)

Browns

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters he has โ€œa plan thatโ€™s in pencilโ€ when asked about the timeline to name a starting quarterback.

โ€œ[W]e have to take in information every single day, take in how guys are handling certain situations, and then adjust from there,โ€ Stefanski said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œBut weโ€™ll get to those type of decisions later on. Listen, I think the big thing for me is putting our guys in a position where we can evaluate them. I think they did a great job in the spring. All four of those guys, I will continue to put them in some situations, but ultimately, weโ€™d love to make decisions sooner than later.โ€

  • Browns CB Greg Newsome II said he wants to be in Cleveland for the rest of his career: “I said it since I was drafted, I want to be a Brown for life. In order to do that, I need to keep holding up my end of the bargain.” (Scott Petrak)

Ravens

  • Ravens HC John Harbaugh said WR Zay Flowers has a camp-type injury and should return in a few days. (Jeff Zrebiec)

Steelers 

  • Steelers CB Darius Slay on being on the same team as DB Jalen Ramsey: “He can play anywhere and be great at all of them. You know, getting to play together now, I wish we had gotten to play together when I was younger. But this is going to be a lot of fun.” (Nick Farabaugh)
  • Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers on OC Arthur Smith‘s offense: “I like the flexibility. Arthur is not rigid in what he’s doing. He wants to tailor the scheme to the personnel that you got.” (Pryor)
  • Rodgers on going against the Steelers defense: “It’s not a bad thing to get beat up a little bit. … sometimes you can learn more from the failures in training camp than getting after him every single day.” (Pryor)
  • Steelers S Chuck Clark‘s one-year, $1,422,500 deal includes a $1,255,000 base salary and a $167,500 roster bonus. None of it is guaranteed. (OverTheCap)
