Bengals' trey hendrickson does not report to training camp amid contract dispute
All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson will not be with the Cincinnati Bengals for the start of training camp. As Bengals veterans reported on Tuesday, Hendrickson posted on his Instagram reel that he is in Florida. Hendrickson is seeking a long-term extension with an amount of guaranteed money that matches what the leagues top pass rushers are earning. He is scheduled to earn 15.8 million in base salary this season and has a cap number of 18.7 million. He did not attend last month's mandatory minicamp but did make an appearance during an offseason workout in May to vent his frustrations about negotiations. 'I'm not looking to offend Trey by saying something, and I'm not looking to try to justify where we are. I think we're in a good spot,' owner Mike Brown said on Monday. 'I hope this thing comes together soon, and I'm just going to leave it at that. You guys can say what you want. I'm not going to say very much until it gets done, and then I'm just going to say we're glad to have him.' Hendrickson led the league with 17 1/2 sacks last season. His 57 sacks since joining the Bengals in 2021 are third most in the league over the past four seasons. Hendrickson's frustration has continued to mount since the Bengals signed wide receivers JaMarr Chase and Tee Higgins to lucrative extensions in March. Chase's 161 million contract made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL at the time, and Higgins' 115 million deal made him one of the leagues top 10 highest-paid receivers. 'We get to this point in the year, and there's always Chase to sign or there's Joe Burrow to sign this year, Hendrickson to sign. There seems to be somebody, and that's alright, that's how the system works. We try to get it done, and we're still in there trying,' Brown said. Hendrickson is a valuable piece to a defense looking to improve with Al Golden in his first season as coordinator. The Bengals (9-8 last season) finished 25th in the league in total defense (348.3 yards allowed per game) and lost four games last season in which they scored at least 30 points. The Bengals are also missing first-round pick Shemar Stewart, as the two sides are deadlocked over contract language that could void future guarantees if there are any off-field incidents. The defensive end, the 17th overall pick in April's draft, is the only first-round pick who hasn't signed.

Trey Hendrickson calls Bengals' contract offer 'atrociously low'
The Cincinnati Bengals require veterans to report Tuesday for the start of training camp. Defensive end Trey Hendrickson – the team's star defensive player – will not be there. Hendrickson and the Bengals have been stuck in a contract extension negotiation standoff all offseason. On Tuesday's episode of "Good Morning Football," Manti Te'o shared details of a recent conversation he had with Hendrickson, in which the disgruntled reigning NFL sack leader said Cincinnati's latest offer and money guarantees were "atrociously, atrociously low." Manti's take 👀@Sara_Walsh Te'o's report came during a segment on the NFL Network program during which the show's analysts had to rate their confidence that a deal would get done on a scale from 1 to 91 (Hendrickson's jersey number). However, Te'o said based on his recent conversation with Hendrickson that "it's a 0 from me." "Trey even told me, him and his representatives would even take less years to reduce the length of the contract. And the Bengals organization said 'no,'" Te'o said. Te'o and Hendrickson were teammates on the Saints between 2017 and 2019. CINCINNATI BENGALS: The AFC North contenders could have a historic offense. But what about the defense? Barring a breakthrough in negotiations, Hendrickson is set to enter the 2025 season on the last year of the contract extension he signed ahead of the 2023 season. He'd make $16 million this year on the current deal, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The defensive end also posted a picture to his Instagram story of a highway with a Florida geotag, seemingly showing that Hendrickson is not even in the state of Ohio for the start of Bengals training camp. Long-term extension talks between the #Bengals and star Trey Hendrickson broke down over guaranteed money before camp… and Hendrickson has now indicated he left the just posted this on Instagram. BENGALS CONTRACT UPDATES: Bengals exec, owner give latest on Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart deals Since Hendrickson signed with the Bengals in 2021, he has been their best defensive player. After starting his career with only 20 sacks in his first four seasons with the Saints, Hendrickson has excelled with the Bengals, totaling 57 sacks in the last four years. He has made the Pro Bowl each season with Cincinnati. In 2024, he topped the league with 17.5 sacks, earned his first, first-team All-Pro honor and was the runner-up to Patrick Surtain II in Defensive Player of the Year voting. The 2024 season marked the second consecutive year that Hendrickson recorded 17.5 sacks. Hendrickson is not the only disgruntled edge rusher the Bengals have not been able to satisfy in contract talks. Their 2025 first-round pick, Shemar Stewart, remains unsigned and continues to hold out. If Stewart doesn't sign by Week 10, he would become ineligible to play this season and could re-enter the 2026 NFL Draft.
