Another Hendrickson contract projection has rolled in, this time with Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport predicting a three-year extension worth $103.5 million: “If the Bengals have legitimate aspirations of a deep playoff run, they need to figure out a way to get a deal done with Hendrickson. But with each passing week, that appears less likely.”

There's still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the Cincinnati Bengals and Trey Hendrickson. The star defensive end has made it clear he won't play the 2025 season on his current deal, which would pay him $16 million. But what's the resolution? No one seems to know.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer noted the Bengals' contract questions entering training camp this week and the "unpredictable" Trey Hendrickson situation. The star defensive end has been adamant about not playing this season unless he gets a new contract.
