Overview

  • Hendrickson did not report to training camp on July 22 and is subject to $50,000 fines for each missed day.
  • The All-Pro pass rusher is seeking an extension with multiple years of guaranteed money, while the Bengals have offered only one year of guarantees.
  • Owner Mike Brown says he wants Hendrickson to stay in Cincinnati and remains confident that negotiations “will get done.”
  • Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in both 2023 and 2024 and ranks among the league’s top edge rushers with 35 sacks since 2023.
  • First-round pick Shemar Stewart also remains unsigned over guaranteed-money terms, creating further uncertainty in the Bengals’ defensive preparations.
