- Owner Mike Brown vowed not to trade Hendrickson and expressed confidence that an agreement will be finalized before veterans report Tuesday
- Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin confirmed ongoing dialogue with Hendrickson’s camp and said the sack leader “has earned a raise” and is expected to arrive once terms are agreed
