Trey Hendrickson willing to miss games if he does not get new deal with Cincinnati: Report

Trey Hendrickson, a defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals, is in a standoff with the team over a larger contract as he enters the final year of his current deal. Despite the Bengals securing other key players, Hendrickson remains without a long-term agreement. Several teams have shown interest in him, but the Bengals are expected to retain him following his strong 2024 season. Hendrickson has skipped voluntary workouts and might face fines for missing mandatory minicamp. He previously requested a trade but played out the season. His situation reflects ongoing contract disputes similar to other NFL players, such as T.J. Watt and Micah Parsons.
