Overview

• Trey Hendrickson reported to Bengals training camp on August 5, ending his holdout but remaining unsigned due to unresolved guarantee demands.
• He has rejected two contract proposals after discovering that previously discussed multi-year guarantees were omitted from the formal offers.
• Cincinnati placed him as a co-third-string defensive end on its preseason depth chart, reflecting the ongoing impasse.
• Negotiations center on the structure and amount of guaranteed money despite reported team offers topping $30 million per season.
• The Bengals initially permitted Hendrickson to seek a trade this offseason before rescinding that permission as talks stalled.
