The Bengals and DE Trey Hendrickson are embroiled in a contract dispute as he seeks an extension in the final year of his deal. Following the team’s selection of DE Shemar Stewart in the draft, Hendrickson revealed a communication breakdown with the organization, stating that no discussions have occurred post-draft and expressing frustration over the lack of collaboration. Despite a reported offer of around $28 million per year, below the market rate of $34 million for his position, Hendrickson wishes to remain with the Bengals but may consider holding out if necessary.
