The contract dispute between the Cincinnati Bengals and star defensive end Trey Hendrickson doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon, and one insider provided some insight on what's causing the holdup.

Trey Hendrickson is furious he doesn't have a new deal, and that is leaving the Washington Commanders hoping for a trade.

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.
