The Cincinnati Bengals have resolved their contract standoff with star pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson by granting him a significant salary increase for 2025. The Pro Bowl defensive end will see his pay jump by $14 million, bringing his total compensation for the season to $30 million\u2014a figure that places him among the highest-paid defenders in the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move ends Hendrickson\u2019s training camp \u201chold-in,\u201d where he reported to the team but withheld full participation while pushing for a better deal. While the raise secures his short-term future in Cincinnati, the veteran is still set to become a free agent after the season. The adjustment caps an offseason in which the Bengals also locked in major offensive cornerstones, including wide receivers Ja\u2019Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
