Overview
- Trey Hendrickson, last season’s sack leader with 17.5, will not report to the Bengals’ mandatory minicamp as he seeks a multiyear extension with significant guaranteed money.
- T.J. Watt, entering the final year of a four-year, $112 million contract with $80 million guaranteed, is absent from Pittsburgh’s camp while pressing for a market-rate long-term agreement.
- Under the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, each player faces fines of up to $104,768 for missing mandatory minicamp.
- Their holdouts underscore heightened contract tensions after Myles Garrett’s $40 million-per-year extension reset expectations for top edge rushers.
- Elsewhere, Seahawks punter Michael Dickson secured a four-year, $16.2 million extension, and Washington’s Terry McLaurin and Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart are also sitting out their camps over contract and signing delays.
