The Cincinnati Bengals entered the offseason with three main priorities: extend wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and resolve the contract situation with defensive end and 2024 sack leader Trey Hendrickson.
The contract dispute between the Cincinnati Bengals and Trey Hendrickson took a wrong turn on Tuesday when the All-Pro edge rusher didn't report to training camp with the rest of the team's veteran players.
The Bengals are required to fine Hendrickson $50,000 for each day of camp he misses. In addition, any preseason or regular-season game he misses would result in $877,777 of salary lost, according to Spotrac.
The Bengals star led the NFL in sacks in 2024. He wants a contract extension and has previously said he won't play in 2025 under the terms of the last year of his current deal.
Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown remarks on the unfolding contract situation with Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson.
We’re working to get Trey re-signed as we speak," Brown told the media. "Our guys are in the office working to get that done. And I think it will get done.”The Bengals' director of player personnel made his thoughts clear as well.
