The Cincinnati Bengals and disgruntled defensive end Trey Hendrickson have resumed communication about his contract, sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, according to ESPN’s Ben Baby.
There’s reportedly optimism surrounding Hendrickson’s future in Cincinnati.
The 30-year-old is entering the final season of his contract. He’s been looking for a new deal after leading the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024. Hendrickson skipped mandatory minicamp this past week and has repeatedly expressed his frustration with the Bengals amid the contract dispute between the two sides.
