Overview

  • Cincinnati finalized a one-year rework on Monday that raises Hendrickson’s 2025 pay to $30 million and ends his holdout.
  • The contract omits a no-tag clause, leaving a 2026 franchise tag in play at an estimated $34.8 million.
  • Taylor said the outcome provides "peace of mind" as preparation shifts to the Sept. 7 opener in Cleveland.
  • Hendrickson has produced 57 sacks over four seasons with the Bengals, including 17.5 in each of the past two years.
  • Deals for Hendrickson, Ja’Marr Chase ($161 million) and Tee Higgins ($115 million) bring the club’s 2025 commitments to about $306 million, two years after Joe Burrow’s $275 million extension.
