The 2025 NFL season is fast approaching, and the Cincinnati Bengals still haven\u2019t resolved the contract extension standoff with Trey Hendrickson<\/a>. At 31, it’s understandable that he doesn’t want to risk playing football without contract security.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moreover, this is probably the last time the Bengals’ pass rusher can swing for a lucrative deal. Furthermore, Hendrickson has shown he’s more than capable of getting to the quarterback during his time in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

In three of his four seasons with the Bengals, Hendrickson has recorded 12-plus sacks and has posted back-to-back 17.5 sack seasons. If Cincinnati doesn’t want to meet the player’s contract demands, then it’s likely another NFL team does.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero appeared on “The Rich Eisen Show” and gave the latest on where Hendrickson and the Bengals stand in this contract standoff.<\/p>\n

“We’ve seen things that seem to be going one way, and then all of a sudden the pendulum swings back,” Pelissero said. “I do not believe, without a new contract, that Trey Hendrickson is reporting. I don’t think that he is there throughout the course of the preseason without a new contract, at least up until the point that he would need to play…<\/p>\n

“But I would absolutely not be surprised if he sits out games. You’re talking about missing a million dollars per game check, but you’re also talking about a guy who \u2014 this is his time to get one more really big bite at the apple. He’s determined to get that. So stay tuned on the Trey Hendrickson situation.”<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Pelissero reveals that Hendrickson believes he’s already done the Bengals a favor when signing a one-year extension in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He wants a multi-year commitment from the Bengals after that one-year extension he did a couple of years ago. He doesn’t want to go down that road again. He doesn’t want to kick the can and have to address this again in 2026.<\/p>\n

“The Bengals are saying, ‘This is what we are willing to do.’ Eventually, somebody has to blink, and I don’t anticipate that, at least in the next few days here, it’s going to be Trey Hendrickson.”<\/p>\n
