And he\u2019s been trying to get more.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s more than just new-money APY. The other issue, as it often is with the Bengals, is structure.<\/p>\n<p>Via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the amount of fully-guaranteed money at signing <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1947628433137369370\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">has become an issue<\/a>. The Bengals (as they often do with non-quarterbacks) are willing to guarantee only the first year. Other top pass rushers who signed new deals this year, got three years \u2014 either at signing or as a practical matter.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the Bengals gave receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase three fully-guaranteed years, as a practical matter. Receiver Tee Higgins gets, as a practical matter, one and part of two.<\/p>\n<p>The guarantees won\u2019t matter if the Bengals and Hendrickson can\u2019t agree on annual average. Months ago, we\u2019d heard they\u2019d offered $28 million, and that Hendrickson was angling to get Maxx Crosby money ($35.5 million per year). The Myles Garrett ($40 million annually) and T.J. Watt ($41 million) deals don\u2019t really matter, because Hendrickson has no chance of matching them.<\/p>\n<p>But the existence of the Garrett and Watt contracts make Maxx money less unreasonable. When it comes to unreasonable, however, the Bengals\u2019 front office often personifies that trait.<\/p>\n<p>As Shemar Stewart has learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With a paltry (compared to the current market) compensation package of $16 million for 2025, Bengals edge rusher&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28996,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-28995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
