Fresh Report Surfaces on Trey Hendrickson Contract Negotiations as Bengals Continue Training Camp

 Trey Hendrickson is holding out of Bengals training camp as the first few practices wrap up this week. Sportskeeda's Tony Pauline noted the Bengals and Hendrickson have agreed on the total money figure in a new contract, but cannot agree on the guaranteed money structure.

On top of that, Pauline noted on Friday that the two sides haven't talked at all in person recently. That follows other reports stating they negotiated before training camp.

"There have been reports that Hendrickson is looking for two years guaranteed in his contract while Cincinnati is only offering one, yet sources tell me the pass rusher is looking for a deal that will include guarantees for three years, at which point he’ll have been in the league 11 seasons," Pauline wrote.

"Interestingly enough, I’m told there have been no recent face-to-face negotiations between the Bengals and Hendrickson or his team. There seems to be no sense of urgency coming from the Bengals' front office, which is strange, as losing Hendrickson would set back the Cincinnati franchise on the field and in the locker room."

The waiting game continues as Hendrickson searches for a new contract entering the final year of his deal, set to pay him less than half of what the league's top edge rushers are slotted for ($16 million).

Cincinnati's first preseason game is Thursday, Aug. 7, against the Eagles. Check out Pauline's full report here.
