NFL training camp attendance tracker: Micah Parsons in, Terry McLaurin out amid contract disputes

All 32 NFL teams have officially reported to training camp. It's the time on the calendar when every team is hopeful for the future. But it's also a time when contract disputes and player holdouts reach a boiling point. Here's a list of notable training camp attendance news from around the league: Entering the final year of his contract, Cook has made it known that he's looking for a lucrative contract extension, insinuating early in the offseason that he would like $15 million per season and then skipping voluntary workouts in the spring. However, Cook not only showed up for mandatory minicamp but was a full participant, making it fairly clear that he would be a participant when training camp kicked off. Advertisement That is what transpired, as Cook was a full go with the first team at training camp. The Bills have spoken candidly about the factors they're considering and the hurdles they face in giving Cook the extension he desires. If an extension does materialize, one side will likely have to significantly bend to the other's demands. But regardless if it comes together, it appears that Cook's availability relative to his contract status will not be an issue in Buffalo for now. Hendrickson did not report to training camp this week, as he made obvious Tuesday in an Instagram post with a geotag of Florida, not Paycor Stadium. The veteran defensive end told The Athletic's Dianna Russini he is training in Jacksonville and that he had been presented two offers by the Bengals over the past month, neither of which had the guarantees he's seeking. Hendrickson has been in negotiations with the team throughout the offseason as he seeks an extension with one year and $16 million remaining on the deal he signed in 2023. Stewart, whom the Bengals selected with the 17th pick in April's NFL Draft, also did not report to camp. The rookie has been vocal about his ongoing contract dispute since minicamp. Rumblings of Stewart returning to play for Texas A&M emerged in the past month, but Aggies head coach Mike Elko shut down those rumors. Stewart was just working out in College Station, and the Bengals were aware of it. Stewart is the last remaining unsigned first-round pick. Bengals president Mike Brown called the negotiation drama with Stewart 'silliness' at the club's annual media luncheon. It wasn't long ago that there was a league-wide stalemate for second-round picks from the 2025 NFL Draft to sign their rookie contracts. However, the dominoes fell quickly last week, and almost every player has signed his rookie deal. The only second-rounder — and only rookie draft pick alongside Cincinnati's Stewart — still unsigned is Judkins. Advertisement The former Ohio State standout wasn't on the field when the Browns began training camp, as expected after he was arrested in Florida earlier this month on charges of domestic battery and violence. No timetable has been provided for Judkins to sign his contract or to return to team activities. Parsons reported to camp alongside the rest of his Cowboys teammates, but he remains under the spotlight. The topic of Parsons' pending contract extension dominated Dallas' opening news conference of training camp, with owner and general manager Jerry Jones ruffling feathers by referencing Parsons' 2024 ankle injury. Parsons, who has never shied away from speaking publicly, responded with pointed comments after the team's first training camp practice Tuesday, acknowledging he's discouraged that a deal hasn't been reached. 'I don't take it personally, I just don't understand,' he said. Parsons also said the contract situation isn't his only obstacle. He said he is dealing with back tightness, something he's alluded to previously. 'Some heavy squats,' Parsons said, with a smile. Parsons has been on the field but has mostly been a spectator at practice, holding a dummy during defensive drills. He is entering the fifth-year option season of his rookie contract and is expected to become one of the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in NFL history. Cowboys DE Micah Parsons: 'There's really not much movement' on contract talks. 'I want to be here. At the end of the day, they sign the checks. Let's see if they want me to be here.' 'I'm doing this for myself and my teammates. This isn't for Jerry.' — Jon Machota (@jonmachota) July 22, 2025 The Broncos have a handful of players who are in conversation to receive extensions. Although nothing has materialized thus far, all four players at the heart of those talks were present and accounted for as Denver got rolling in training camp. Anzalone has yet to practice in training camp as he enters the final year of a three-year contract, which he signed after playing in Detroit on a pair of one-year deals. Anzalone cited a hamstring injury suffered during his conditioning test, but he was clear that he's disappointed with the Lions for letting things get to this point without an extension on the books, and that he feels underpaid. Advertisement The Lions have been one of the NFL's more proactive teams in getting major contract extensions done with their core players. Anzalone has been one of those players, but he turns 31 in September, and 2023 first-round linebacker Jack Campbell will be eligible for an extension next offseason. With several other pending extensions in Detroit, it's possible the Lions don't envision the kind of contract extension that Anzalone is eyeing. Jenkins began training camp on the non-football injury list with a back injury. The veteran offensive lineman missed some voluntary workouts earlier in the offseason and didn't participate during mandatory minicamp, but Packers GM Brian Gutekunst indicated Wednesday that Jenkins will be back on the field once he's healthy. Jenkins, who is signed through 2026, is looking for long-term security. The only part of his contract that was guaranteed was his signing bonus of $24 million. Since then, Jenkins has watched the Packers draft an offensive lineman in the first round in 2024 (Jordan Morgan) and the second round in 2025 (Anthony Belton). The Packers also signed right tackle Zach Tom to a contract extension and doled out a big contract to guard Aaron Banks in free agency, while also asking Jenkins to move to a less lucrative position at center. The flurry of high-profile movements on the offensive line, coupled with the fact that Jenkins is slated to turn 30 in December, exposes him to being a cap cut next offseason. That's a situation Jenkins would like to avoid. The Chargers and Slater have expressed nothing but optimism about getting a deal done. Like Parsons in Dallas, Slater is entering the final year of his contract after the Chargers made the easy decision to pick up his fifth-year option. Slater, one of the better left tackles in the league, is due a hefty extension. Slater has not practiced since Friday. Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman called Slater's initial absence a 'rest day,' while head coach Jim Harbaugh later said Slater is dealing with a 'minor injury.' Slater has been present at training camp practices, working off to the side. The Rams' leading running back reported for camp this week despite ongoing contract negotiations with the club. Williams told reporters Tuesday he planned to practice in full and believed a deal would ultimately get done, while coach Sean McVay said the team would meet with Williams' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, on Wednesday. Williams enters the final year of his rookie contract this season. Advertisement Jennings reported to camp and practiced Wednesday after questions about his trade status with the team. Earlier this month, the 49ers receiver made it clear he wanted a better deal than the one that will pay him $7.5 million this season and signaled he'd request a trade if a deal wasn't consummated. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Jennings has not officially requested a trade. Jennings led 49ers receivers last season with a career-high 77 catches, 975 yards and six touchdowns. He's an important piece of the offense, especially with Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall recovering from injuries. McLaurin did not attend the Commanders' voluntary OTA sessions or mandatory minicamp earlier this offseason as frustrations with his contract negotiations rose. The holdout continued this week as the wide receiver did not report to training camp. The 29-year-old is coming off his best campaign in 2024 as a trusted target for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year quarterback Jayden Daniels. He's arguably one of the most underrated receivers in the game, but a resolution with the team he started his NFL career with in 2019 remains unclear.

Here's how much Bengals made from revenue sharing in 2024

The NFL raked in $13.6 billion in revenue during the last fiscal year, according to an report. Each club, including the Cincinnati Bengals, received the same slice of that pie. The Packers, the only publicly-owned organization in the NFL, make an annual disclosure of their finances and some of the information was released to ESPN ahead of the Friday disclosure. That included that the Packers received $432.6 million as part of NFL revenue sharing, Rob Demovsky wrote. That also means the league shared more than $13 billion in revenue from the previous fiscal year, the ESPN report stated. The prior fiscal year saw NFL revenue sharing eclipse $400 million per club for the first time in league history, according to ESPN. This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Bengals NFL revenue sharing was $432.6 million in 2024: Report

Cincinnati Bengals Under Fire After Latest Joe Burrow News

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow have begun the 2025 NFL season. While it's just training camp with preseason to follow, fans could not be more excited to welcome football back. For the Bengals, the 2025 season is a chance to get back on track. After missing the playoffs last season with a 9-8 record, the Bengals are hungry. They're hungry to prove that they're still capable of being a Super Bowl contender. Burrow lead Cincinnati to the Super Bowl back in the 2021 season. Since then, the team has lost in the AFC Championship Game and missed the playoffs twice. Joe Burrow #9 of the Cincinnati Bengals looks on prior to a game against the Seattle Seahawks at Paycor Stadium on October 15, 2023 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Photo byWith that in mind, head coach Zac Taylor made a surprising revelation regarding Burrow heading into preseason action. Read more: Dolphins' Tyreek Hill Sends Big Warning to Rest of NFL As shared by Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, Taylor has stated that Burrow will play more during the preseason than he has ever played before this year. "Bengals HC Zac Taylor said QB Joe Burrow will play more this preseason than ever before, as the team looks to start the season faster than in years past," Meirov wrote on X. Following that news, NFL fans have lashed out at the team. They do not think risking a quarterback who has had some nagging injury issues in recent years is a smart decision from the Bengals. "Yeah cause the offense was the big problem last year," one fan wrote. Another chimed in, "Cool but they have no D. So it don't matter." "Keep that young man healthy," a third comment said. A fourth comment read, "Starting injury prone QB all preseason is a disaster waiting to happen." "Sure. Increased Burrow preseason reps will help the D not give up 40 per game," a fifth comment said. Read more: Bills' Josh Allen Announcement Before Training Camp Has Fans Buzzing Making an attempt and change to start faster makes sense. Throwing Burrow on the field during the preseason does not. Burrow has been just fine during the regular season. Last year, he completed 70.6 percent of his pass attempts for 4,918 yards, 43 touchdowns, and just nine interceptions, while also running for 201 yards and two scores. He was able to play all 17 games. Only time will tell what will come from this decision. It's a definite risk, but Cincinnati is getting aggressive. Perhaps it will be the change that the Bengals need to start strong and get back to being a championship contender in the AFC. For more Cincinnati Bengals and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Bengals put Trey Hendrickson on did not report list

Defensive end Trey Hendrickson did not report to Bengals training camp this week and the team made a roster move reflecting that on Wednesday. The NFL's daily transaction report shows that Hendrickson has been placed on the reserve/did not report list. The move allows the Bengals to fine Hendrickson $50,000 each day that he is absent from camp. Hendrickson is in the final year of his current deal and is set to make $16 million under the terms of that deal. He is looking for a contract extension, but reports this week have indicated that the Bengals have only offered one year of guaranteed money and Hendrickson is looking for more than that in order to sign with the team. Hendrickson will not count against the Bengals' 90-man roster limit or salary cap while he is on the did not report list.
