Bengals' Trey Hendrickson, Steelers' T.J. Watt not at minicamps as star pass rushers seek new deals

Trey Hendrickson of the Cincinnati Bengals and T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers are skipping their teams' mandatory minicamps as they seek new contracts. Missing the minicamp could result in fines totaling over $100,000, although these can be waived. Watt, entering the final year of his contract, is pushing for a significant raise from his current salary as his talks in Pittsburgh have stalled. Hendrickson led the league with 17.5 sacks last year and has been seeking a new deal for years. Despite being allowed to seek a trade, Hendrickson remains with the Bengals and is not planning to play without a new contract. This standoff represents an ongoing negotiation challenge for both players.
