Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson is not happy about his lack of a new contract, and can you blame him? As an offseason holdout looks almost like a given at this point, the 2024 NFL sack leader spoke with reporters on Tuesday to express his continued displeasure with how Cincinnati is handling contract negotiations with his reps.

He won't play with the Bengals this season under his current contract, but left the relationship open-ended. Basically, the ball is in the Bengals' court to improve negotiations with Hendrickson. He is set to earn $15.8 million this season, the final year of his contract with the team.

Contract negotiations have not progressed between the Cincinnati Bengals and star defensive end Trey Hendrickson. On Monday, Hendrickson said in a statement to ESPN that no communication had taken place between his camp and the Bengals' organization since the NFL draft.
