Cincinnati Bengals Get Positive Update on Trey Hendrickson's Holdout
Yet, once the season ended, Hendrickson demanded a trade from the Bengals, and the team granted his agent's request to speak to other teams. However, the Bengals were never able to find a trade partner for the first-team All-Pro on an expiring contract.
Nevertheless, Hendrickson still wanted a new contract, one that properly recognized his value as one of the NFL's best pass-rushers. After all, T.J. Watt is now earning an average annual value of $41 million per season, which is far more than the $18.6 million cap hit Hendrickson is set to have for the Bengals this year.
While Hendrickson had been holding out of Bengals training camp practices while he sought a raise, his stance has suddenly changed.
According to ESPN's NFL expert Adam Schefter, Hendrickson is ending his holdout by reporting to Bengals camp on Wednesday, without a new deal in place.
While Hendrickson doesn't appear to be getting a new contract, he'll at least no longer be subject to daily fines of $50,000. Who knows? Maybe the Bengals will see Hendrickson's commitment to the team and decide to reward him anyway.
Either way, with first-round rookie Shemar Stewart recently coming to terms on his deal, and Hendrickson being set to report, the Bengals will have their top pass-rushers finally practicing with the rest of their teammates.

Ravens waived an undrafted rookie offensive tackle
The Ravens have made nearly a dozen roster moves over the past four days and just parted ways with another undrafted free agent. Baltimore signed former Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson on Saturday, and to make room on the roster, the Ravens waived undrafted rookie free agent offensive lineman Ozzie Hutchinson. Hutchinson (6-4, 305) signed with Baltimore following the 2025 NFL draft after he appeared in 41 games during his stint at Albany (2019-23), earning second-team All-CAA honors in his final season. Before the Hutchinson move, Baltimore announced five roster moves on Saturday, with the shocker being the release of undrafted rookie kicker John Hoyland. In all, the Ravens signed Brent Urban, Scotty Washington, and Baylor Cupp, while releasing Hoyland, tight end Sam Pitz, and linebacker Diwun Black.

Former Falcons running back eligible for Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2026
Todd Gurley, who spent one season in Atlanta, will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2026 The class of 2026 is shaping up to be special 👀 With the conclusion of the NFL's Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend, future Canton hopefuls can now turn their attention to next year's class. Former Falcons running back Todd Gurley will be among the players with first-time eligibility in 2026. After five productive years with the Los Angeles Rams, Gurley was released following the 2019 season. The Falcons signed the former Georgia standout as a free agent in 2020. While Gurley made a name for himself with the Rams, his lone season in Atlanta was underwhelming. Knee injuries got the best of the former top-10 pick. Gurley rushed for 678 yards and nine touchdowns for the Falcons, adding 24 catches for 164 receiving yards. Atlanta got off to an 0-5 start in 2020, prompting team owner Arthur Blank to fire head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff. This didn't help Gurley in what ended up being his final NFL season. Gurley's career may have ended quietly, but he played at an MVP level early on, and should have an outside shot at the Hall of Fame. In 2014, he won the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award despite missing three games. In 2017, he rushed for 1,305 yards and 13 touchdowns, with an additional 64 catches for 788 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions. Gurley was nearly as good during his 2018 season, recording 1,831 yards from scrimmage and 21 total touchdowns. So, while the Falcons didn't get the best of what Gurley had to offer, he was as good as anyone in the game when he was in his prime. RELATED: Falcons rookie compared to Hall of Famer Jared Allen

Jimmy Horn Jr. turning heads at Panthers training camp with his speed and toughness
Colorado football currently has four receivers on NFL training camp rosters who were on the team last season. Other than the Jaguars' Travis Hunter, the standout has been Carolina Panthers rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. Horn was a sixth-round pick by the Panthers in the 2025 NFL draft, but after a fantastic offseason, he is looking like a steal of the draft. With his speed and toughness, Horn is everything a team would want out of a sixth-round receiver. In a recent mock scrimmage at Bank of America Stadium, Horn impressed once again, scoring the first touchdown for the second team offense. Horn was in motion before the snap and then snuck underneath, and quarterback Andy Dalton found him for an easy walk into the endzone. While it was not a typical go-ball that the speedy Horn should see plenty of this season, it was a play that Colorado ran a ton with Horn. Get him the ball in space and let his open-field ability do the rest. Panthers head coach Dave Canales has loved what he has seen from the rookie receiver so far. "I think it's the energy he plays with," said Canales to "He doesn't quit on routes, he continues after the normal part of the protection he can count on, he continues to find space and play fast, and, it's a credit to his fitness, but it's also a credit to just the energy that he puts out there, that you want to throw to him." While sixth-round picks are far from guaranteed to make the final 53-man roster, Horn's performances through the offseason have made it almost a forgone conclusion that he makes Carolina's final group. The Panthers and Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland Browns, will have joint practices this week before each team's first preseason game on Friday, Aug. 8. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.
