One of the biggest teamouts in the NFL’s forecast has ended.
Cincinnati Bengals Star Defensive than Trey Hendrickson, the league’s leader in sacks a year ago, has agreed to finish his teamout in the middle of a contractist, per. Espn.

However, Hendrickson’s obligation to training camp could perhaps speed up the process of getting the 30-year-old ink in the long term.
Hendrickson was the last player in the league to stay out of training camp when others, like Washington Commanders recipient Terry McLaurin, stood their land a little before they got to their teammates.

Last week, Hendrickson said he was in Jacksonville, Florida, explaining the contract situation from his point of view with Bengals.
“I spent the last 30 days at my house in Cincinnati, which is across the river from the stadium,” Hendrickson said via Athletic. “We got two offers within a 24-hour period, and [neither] Of them, they had guarantees we were looking for. I would be there, but there is no way I would be able to sit there in the house and hear the practice whistles while I was also a distraction. I will not ruin the other 10 guys’ 2025 season in my contract language. “
Hendrickson added that he would take a contract with less money, but the guarantees are what matters.
While Bengals President Mike Brown said the team would not act Hendrickson, he said “We are working to get trey-signed while we’re talking.”

“And I think it will be done,” he said via the New York Post.
The Bengals have not been seen in the best light this season as the first round picking Shemar Stewart also treated similar contract problems. He had a problem with contractual language that could cancel his guaranteed money, but he ultimately signed a fully guaranteed $ 18.7 million rookie deal last week with $ 10.4 million as a signing bonus.
It is unknown whether or when Hendrickson and Bengals reach common ground, but a step in the right direction is the all-pro that goes into the building to prepare for the 2025 season with his teammates.
Hendrickson, who has made the Pro Bowl every year, he has been with Cincinnati since 2021 – he spent the first four of his eight NFL seasons with New Orleans Saints – had 17.5 sacks last season, just as he did in 2023.

He has cemented himself as one of the league’s best pass rushers, and he seems to be paid as such.
Two of Bengals’ AFC North rivals, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, also paid their two passports, rushing studs this season. Browns’ Myles Garrett was first with a deal that paid him $ 40 million per year. Season to become the highest non-quartal in the league, and Steelers broke it with Watt’s deal, worth $ 41 million a year.
