US EditionCincinnati Bengals: Trey Hendrickson Likely Won’t Report to Training Camp After Extension Talks Break Down
HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO, JUL 22 – Trey Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season but seeks a longer-term, fully guaranteed contract amid Bengals' reluctance during Super Bowl window.
- The Cincinnati Bengals began their 2025 training camp on July 23 without key defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who remains a holdout seeking a new contract.
- Hendrickson's holdout results from stalled negotiations over guaranteed money and contract language, with the team and player failing to agree despite multiple offers.
- Hendrickson, last season's NFL sack leader with 17.5 sacks and a four-time Pro Bowler, did not attend last month's minicamp and posted from Florida as frustration grew.
- Bengals owner Mike Brown described Hendrickson as an important defender and expressed hope for a deal soon, while Hendrickson called the current offer's guarantees 'atrociously low.'
- The Bengals face starting the season missing Hendrickson and rookie Shemar Stewart, also unsigned over contract language, which may impact the team's defensive performance.
