Trey Hendrickson, Cincinnati Bengals agree to $14 million raise for 2025 season

On August 25, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals and pass rusher Trey Hendrickson finalized a revised deal that increased his salary for the 2025 season to $30 million.
The deal followed a prolonged stalemate caused by Hendrickson's demand for long-term guarantees and the Bengals' preference for a high short-term salary without extended guarantees.
Hendrickson, who joined the Bengals in 2021, led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season and threatened not to play in 2025 without a contract extension.
The agreement adds one year to Hendrickson's pact and includes a $14 million raise, boosting his 2025 salary from $16 million to $30 million as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Hendrickson’s current contract runs through 2025, after which he will be free to sign with any team. The short-term extension is likely intended to prevent missed games this season while positioning him for a potentially lucrative deal when he enters free agency next spring.
