Cam Jordan tells Bengals to ‘empty the bag' for Trey Hendrickson after back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons
Cam Jordan urges Bengals to lock in Trey Hendrickson (Image via: Getty Images) The Cincinnati Bengals face a crucial decision regarding star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, who remains in a contract standoff with the team. While Hendrickson continues his hold-in, one former teammate is publicly urging the Bengals to lock him down with a well-deserved extension. For Cincinnati, the situation could prove pivotal to both their short- and long-term success. Cam Jordan calls on Bengals to pay Trey Hendrickson During an appearance on Up & Adams, veteran defensive end Cam Jordan made his stance clear: the Bengals cannot afford to mishandle Hendrickson's situation. Jordan, who played four seasons with Hendrickson in New Orleans, emphasized that Cincinnati should pay him what he's worth before it's too late. 'He needs to be paid,' Jordan told Kay Adams. 'Don't let a guy like Trey Hendrickson walk. They've never had a pass rusher like Trey Hendrickson over Cincinnati.' Jordan referenced the lucrative contracts of elite defenders such as T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett, noting that Hendrickson's production places him in the same category. Despite those comparisons, Hendrickson remains without the extension he is seeking. Why Trey Hendrickson deserves Bengals extension The numbers speak for themselves. Hendrickson has delivered back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons, totaling 35 sacks over the past two years. That level of production has placed him among the league's most dominant pass rushers. For a Bengals defense striving to keep pace with AFC heavyweights like the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens, Hendrickson's presence is critical. Cincinnati may have invested a first-round pick in defensive end Shemar Stewart, but as Jordan pointed out, proven production carries more weight than potential. 'I get it, you picked up a first-rounder, but you have something proven. When you have something proven, you add to that,' Jordan said. Cincinnati cannot risk losing Trey Hendrickson in AFC title chase The Bengals have made significant investments in their offensive core around Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase, but maintaining balance requires equal commitment on defense. Hendrickson's consistency as a pass rusher is rare, and his ability to disrupt opposing quarterbacks makes him indispensable. Also Read: Dillon Gabriel shows promise in Cleveland Browns' preseason debut despite costly mistakes If Cincinnati hopes to remain a legitimate contender in the AFC, extending Trey Hendrickson must be a top priority. As Cam Jordan emphasized, players of Hendrickson's caliber do not come around often, and losing him would create a void the Bengals may not be able to replace quickly.

Ryder Cup: J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele clinch U.S. team spots
Three of the six automatic qualifying spots for the U.S. Ryder Cup team have now been filled, with J.J. Spaun and Xander Schauffele joining Scottie Scheffler on captain Keegan Bradley's roster. Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau and Harris English enter the final week of automatic qualifying on Monday in the Nos. 4-6 spots, respectively, in the U.S. rankings. The top six after this week's BMW Championship will represent Team USA against Team Europe at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., from Sept. 26-28. The squad will have six additional captain's picks, with Bradley potentially competing as a playing captain. ALSO READ | Fleetwood to join McIlroy at DP World India Championship in New Delhi Spaun secured his spot with a runner-up finish Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, where he lost to England's Justin Rose in a playoff. The 2025 U.S. Open champion is up to No. 6 in the Official World Golf Ranking after starting the year outside the top 100. Schauffele, who has made 70 consecutive cuts on the PGA Tour, finished T22 on Sunay to mathematically clinch his spot. Scheffler finished T3 on Sunday but has long been a lock for the squad with wins at the PGA Championship and the Open Championship this year, along with victories at the Memorial and the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Russell Henley has 11,904.82 Ryder Cup rankings points, followed by DeChambeau (10,774.98), English (10,439.55) and Justin Thomas (10,347.59). Players gain one point per $1,000 earned at each non-major PGA TOUR event and gain 1.5 points per $1,000 earned at major championships. The BMW Championship, with a $20 million purse, opens Thursday at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md. DeChambeau, who competes with LIV Golf, has no chance to earn additional points this week. However, Bradley said last month that there would be a spot on the team for the two-time U.S. Open champion whether he stays in the top six or not.

Annu Rani Eyes World Championship Medal. Neeraj Chopra Of Indian Women's Javelin
India's ace javelin thrower Annu Rani has breached the 60m mark for a second time in two days, marking a come back to form after a dip in her performances. After hitting 62.01m at the World Athletics Continental Bronze level tour event in Bhubaneshwar and winning the 800 USD competition she told NDTV, "The experience of throwing here in front of a packed stadium was good. I was able to cross 62m twice in 2 days ago, and that too after 2 years. She found her rhythm in Poland, having thrown 65.59m last week. Annu arrived from Europe jet lagged, hence it was a humongous effort to get used to the conditions and replicate a good show. "I have travelled a long way and was fatigued as well. To have done 62m while I am so tired gives me immense satisfaction. Hopefully things will be good in the future." The UP girl spent some time training along with former Javelin world champion Johannes Vetter, who has also experienced a low in his sport after 2021, but kept pursuing for the love of it. She worked on her technique to find her way back in the sport, training under former Olympic medallist Sergey Makarov. She made two small changes, that were suggested by her coach "My runway is smooth now and I have tried to angle the javelin in a way that it keeps low. Earlier my angle was high generally. That was not giving me the results." "Crossing 62m has boosted a lot of confidence in me. This will be my 5th world championship. My eye will be on a medal," says Annu Rani. The qualification window for World Championships closes with the Inter-State meet, later this month
