However, for at least a few players, the season may be delayed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">It is hardly uncommon for players to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/jets-pass-rusher-haason-reddick-let-go-agents-amid-holdout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">sit out of training camp<\/a> in the wake of contract negotiations, as players do not want to risk injury in practice before getting their bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worked for some (Darrelle Revis), while others (Le&#8217;Veon Bell and Haason Reddick) lost their gamble.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/mclaurin-parsons-hendrickson.jpg\" alt=\"Terry McLaurin, Micah Parsons, and Trey Hendrickson\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Terry McLaurin, Micah Parsons, and Trey Hendrickson (IMAGN)<\/p>\n<p>Some situations are more complicated than others, but we compiled a list of several players off the practice field as they eye new contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Micah Parsons<\/p>\n<p>Parsons is currently claiming that back tightness is the reason he is not practicing, but he did tell Fox News Digital earlier this year that he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/cowboys-micah-parsons-reveals-plan-doesnt-have-new-contract-training-camp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">would likely hold out<\/a> without a new deal \u2014 which he still does not have.<\/p>\n<p>His 52.5 career sacks are the sixth-most by any player in his first four seasons, and he finished second, second and third in the Defensive Player of the Year voting in each of his first three years. It is safe to say he deserves to break the bank.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, instead of signing a deal, he and owner Jerry Jones have taken shots at one another in the last couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>Terry McLaurin<\/p>\n<p>McLaurin signed a three-year extension reportedly worth over $68 million prior to the 2022 season that kicked off in 2023. Now, with one year remaining on that deal, and arguably the best season of his career, McLaurin is holding out for a new deal.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a rather inopportune time for McLaurin to hold out, as the Washington Commanders want to avoid a sophomore slump with Jayden Daniels.<\/p>\n<p>However, McLaurin, who turns 30 on Sept. 15, just racked up a career-high 13 touchdowns to go along with his fifth-consecutive 1,000-yard season.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/terry-mclaurin-1.jpg\" alt=\"Terry McLaurin celebrates\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (17) celebrates a first down against Detroit Lions during the second half of the NFC Divisional round at Ford Field in Detroit on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025.

Hendrickson skipped all the Bengals offseason activities leading up to the start of training camp. The 30-year-old earned First-team All-Pro honors after his NFL-leading 17.5 sacks last season.<\/p>\n<p>But he recently said the Bengals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/bengals-trey-hendrickson-releases-scathing-statement-against-team-contract-talks-stall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">have been silent<\/a> regarding a new deal, and Hendrickson has said he will not play under his current contract. This season marks the final year of Hendrickson&#8217;s deal.<\/p>\n<p>Hendrickson turned 30 in December, has been with Cincinnati since 2021 and has been an absolute steal for them. He spent his first four seasons with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/nfl\/new-orleans-saints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">New Orleans Saints<\/a> but failed to put up numbers until his final season there, recording a career-high at the time of 13.5 sacks after just 6.5 in his first three NFL seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Shemar Stewart<\/p>\n<p>Make that two edge rushers that the Bengals won&#8217;t sign \u2014 this one being the 17th pick of this past April&#8217;s draft.<\/p>\n<p>The Bengals are reportedly trying to change the way their first-round rookie contracts are done, which would allow the team to void future guarantees. The contract battle has resulted in a war of words between the two sides.<\/p>\n<p>Not exactly a great start to the career. Stewart did not participate in mandatory minicamp last month, either.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/shemar-stewart-.jpg\" alt=\"Shemar Stewart looks on at practice\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart looks on during the Bengals Rookie Mini Camp on Friday, May 9, 2025 at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati.
