Trey Hendrickson ending Bengals holdout without new deal in place in training camp twist
Trey Hendrickson is going back to Cincinnati. But without a new contract in hand. The star Bengals defensive end has agreed to end his holdout, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Cincinnati defensive end Trey Hendrickson gets set for a snap during the first half of the Bengals' home loss to the Steelers on Dec. 1, 2024. AP Nevertheless, the NFL insider reported that Hendrickson and the Bengals are not closer to consummating a new deal. Hendrickson, 30, was the final remaining NFL holdout this training camp. It's not yet clear if he will practice as he looks to get his new contract. The news comes less than a week after rookie defensive lineman Shemar Stewart ended his own lengthy standoff with the Bengals. Hendrickson explained last week that he was in Jacksonville, Fla. and was willing to take a contract with less money, but that the offers presented to him did not have the guaranteed language that he was looking for and he didn't want to be a 'distraction.' 'I spent the last 30 days at my home in Cincinnati, which is across the river from the stadium,' Hendrickson told The Athletic. We were given two offers within a 24-hour period, and [neither] of them had the guarantees we were looking for. I wanted to be there, but there's no way I would be able to sit there in the house and hear the practice whistles while also being a distraction. I don't want to ruin the other 10 guys' 2025 season on my contract language.' Trey Hendrickson speaks to media during NFL football practice on May 13, 2025, in Cincinnati. AP Bengals president Mike Brown bluntly said last week that the team was not looking to trade Hendrickson, who's on the final year of his current deal. 'We aren't going to trade Trey,' Brown told reporters last week. 'We're working to get Trey re-signed as we speak,' Brown told the media. 'Our guys are in the office working to get that done. And I think it will get done.' Hendrickson has developed into one of the NFL's elite edge rushers, leading the league with 17.5 sacks last season to earn his first All-Pro nod. He had a 90.4 pass rusher grade on Pro Football Focus, ranking fifth out of 211 players. Hendrickson will now look to cash in like the Steelers' T.J. Watt, who earned a historic $123 million payday earlier in July.

All-Pro Trey Hendrickson ends holdout and will report to Bengals, AP source says
FILE - Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson speaks to media during NFL football practice on May 13, 2025, in Cincinnati. Carolyn Kaster/AP FILE - Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson gets set for a snap during the first half of an NFL football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024, in Cincinnati. Kareem Elgazzar/AP CINCINNATI (AP) — Trey Hendrickson is ending his holdout and will report to the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday, a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday night. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced. The All-Pro defensive end missed the first five days of training camp and accumulated $250,000 in fines. Hendrickson left Cincinnati before the start of camp and was working out in Jacksonville, Florida. The Bengals held position meetings on Tuesday but did not practice. Advertisement Article continues below this ad Hendrickson is seeking a long-term extension with guaranteed money that matches what the league's 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. Even though Hendrickson will be in the team complex and attending meetings, it is unlikely he would practice until a new deal is reached. Hendrickson — who led the league with 17 1/2 sacks last season — also did not attend June's mandatory minicamp, but he 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 July 21, the day before Bengals veterans reported to camp. 'I hope this thing comes together soon, and I'm just going to leave it at that.' Hendrickson is a valuable part of 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) last season and lost four games in which they scored at least 30 points.

Reports: Bengals star Trey Hendrickson to end holdout Wednesday
July 30 - Cincinnati Bengals star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson plans to end his holdout and report to training camp on Wednesday, ESPN and NFL Network reported Tuesday. The four-time Pro Bowl defensive end has been seeking a big contract extension. He is slated to make $15.8 million in base salary in 2025. Hendrickson, 30, led the NFL in sacks last season with 17.5. He has 35 over the past two seasons and 57 in four seasons with the Bengals. The two sides have been in a stalemate all offseason. In mid-May, Hendrickson told reporters he wouldn't play this season unless he received a bump in pay. Hendrickson apparently craves an increase in pay that will place him in the higher echelon of defensive players. Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt just landed the highest annual average salary ($41 million) in history for a defensive player. Over the offseason, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett ($40 million AAV) and Los Angeles Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby ($35.5 million) also landed huge deals. Hendrickson has been a Pro Bowl selection in all four of his seasons with Cincinnati. He played his first four seasons with the New Orleans Saints, serving as a backup for the first three campaigns. Hendrickson has 77 sacks, 220 tackles and 14 forced fumbles in 110 games (81 starts). --Field Level Media

Trey Hendrickson reporting to Cincinnati Bengals training camp
The Cincinnati Bengals finally came to terms with top draft pick Shemar Stewart on a deal to end the rookie edge rusher's holdout. Four days later, the franchise is one step closer to welcoming the top sack artist in the NFL back to the fold. Trey Hendrickson is ending his holdout and will report to Bengals training camp, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. This comes a week after the Bengals' veterans reported to training camp on July 22. Hendrickson is entering the final year of his contract and had not reported to training camp as he was seeking out a new deal. One week ago, Hendrickson had called the Bengals' latest offer "atrociously low" and did not seem any closer to ending his holdout. Hendrickson is set to make $16 million in 2025 in the final year of an extension he signed two years ago. Since signing that extension, he has led the NFL in sacks with 35, including a league-high 17.5 in 2024. He finished runner-up to Patrick Surtain II for the Defensive Player of the Year award. The most productive player on the Bengals' defense in recent years is entering his age-31 season after making the Pro Bowl each of the last four seasons. "Trey Hendrickson is a fine player and a good guy," Bengals owner Mike Brown said on July 21. "We want him here. Dealing with him is sometimes not so easy. That's all right. He's got the right to argue his case, we'll try to make sense of it from our perspective ... as far as I'm concerned, the sooner the better." Brown reiterated that the team is not interested in trading Hendrickson away. "We are working on getting it done," Brown said. "We've been through a few — and he pushes hard, he gets emotional. We never have an easy time of it. And if there's one thing that is consistent, it always gets done. I think this one will too.' Many other edge rushers — including some in his own division — have signed extensions this offseason, including Myles Garrett (Cleveland) and T.J. Watt (Pittsburgh). Those two deals reset the market for edge rushers and at an average annual value (AAV) of $40 million and $41 million, respectively, per OverTheCap.
