US EditionBengals' Trey Hendrickson Does Not Report to Training Camp Amid Contract Dispute
HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO, JUL 22 – Contract disagreements over guaranteed money and injury clauses leave two key Bengals defensive ends absent as training camp begins, with Hendrickson seeking a deal comparable to top pass rushers.
- On July 22, 2025, Bengals star defensive lineman Trey Hendrickson chose not to show up for training camp in Cincinnati due to an ongoing contract dispute.
- Hendrickson seeks a long-term extension with more guaranteed money, while the Bengals offer a shorter deal with just one year guaranteed, causing a negotiation impasse.

- Bengals owner Mike Brown stated, "We are not going to trade Trey," noted Hendrickson pushes hard in negotiations, and said, "It always gets done."
- The holdout could complicate the Bengals' season opener on Sept. 7 against the Cleveland Browns, and discussions continue without a resolution yet.
