Overview

  • Trey Hendrickson, entering the final year of his $15.8 million contract, stated he will not play under the current deal.
  • Hendrickson revealed no communication has occurred between his representatives and the Bengals since the April NFL Draft.
  • The Bengals granted Hendrickson permission to seek a trade in March but have not resumed talks or made progress on a deal.
  • Cincinnati prioritized extensions for Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins this offseason, leaving Hendrickson feeling undervalued despite leading the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024.
  • With $26 million in cap space, the Bengals face growing pressure to resolve the standoff before training camp begins in July.
