Trey Hendrickson Makes Bengals Decision Amid Contract Dispute

Chase became the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, while Higgins' deal made him the highest-paid No. 2 receiver the league has ever seen.

With all of this money being thrown around to the Bengals' best players, there's one player who hasn't gotten the same love.

Trey Hendrickson is spotted at voluntary camp despite his contract dispute

Eight-year veteran pass-rusher and the 2024 NFL sacks-leader (17.5 sacks), Trey Hendrickson, has been looking for a contract extension himself and it seems that the Bengals are milking the process.

Hendrickson spoke with ESPN on Monday in regard to a possible contract extension.

"No communication has taken place between my camp and the organization post draft... Rather than using collaboration to get us to a point to bring me home to the team, THEY are no longer communicating," Hendrickson spoke in frustration.

Hendrickson is going into the 2025-26 season in his final year under contract.

He's been trying to get on the same page as the Bengals when having talks on an extension but it seems that Cincinnati doesn't have interest in the conversation right now.

Even though both sides of the party aren't on the same page, Hendrickson was spotted at the Bengals' offseason practice without a uniform on.

It seems as if the 2024 NFL sacks-leader is still supporting his team and showing up to practice, but it's coming at his own price, as he isn't participating.

Instead, he's watching his fellow teammates go through offseason workouts and it's certain that it has something to do with his contract talks.
