NFL analyst urges Bengals to rethink stance on Trey Hendrickson amid DE's contract standoff
- Trey Hendrickson, the seasoned Bengals defensive end, showed up at the team's facility on Tuesday but remained off the field during the voluntary offseason sessions amid ongoing contract negotiations.
- The standoff stems from Hendrickson beginning the last season of his current contract and refusing to play under his existing $21 million one-year agreement, citing stalled negotiations since the draft.
- Hendrickson topped the league with 17.5 sacks in the previous season, secured his fourth straight Pro Bowl selection, and openly voiced frustration about the Bengals’ ongoing communication issues.
- NFL analyst Greg Cosell urged the Bengals to reconsider their stance, while Hendrickson said he wants a new contract reflecting the escalating defensive end market and referenced Myles Garrett’s $40 million per year deal.
- With both sides deadlocked and Hendrickson expecting a trade or new deal, his future with the Bengals remains uncertain, though he believes the relationship might be repaired with time and a new contract.
