Report: Bengals, Trey Hendrickson resume communication as he seeks contract extension
Our Summary
The Cincinnati Bengals have resumed contract negotiations with edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, who is seeking a long-term extension, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Hendrickson, dissatisfied with the team's communication, had previously skipped the offseason program and is now facing fines for missing mandatory minicamp. Despite being under contract through 2025, Hendrickson has stated he will not play under his current deal, which includes a base salary of $15.8 million and a cap hit of $18.6 million. A key player for the Bengals, Hendrickson has earned four consecutive Pro Bowl selections and led the league in sacks last season, making him one of the top edge rushers seeking a new deal, alongside Dallas' Micah Parsons and Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt.
