Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (91) hangs his head on the sideline in the fourth quarter of the NFL Week 9 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati on Sunday, Nov. 7, 2021. Cleveland kept a halftime lead to clinch a 41-16 win over the Bengals.
With the start of the 2025 season just two weeks away, and contract talks at a clear impasse, the Cincinnati Bengals are “listenting to trade offers” for four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Trey Hendrickson , according to NFL.com insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
Hendrickson, the NFL’s reigning sack leader, is currently entrenched in a contract dispute with the Bengals, and is sitting-in — attending preseason camp but no actively participating in practice –as he seeks a lucrative, longterm deal ahead of his final season of a one-year, $21 million extension signed in 2023. The 6-foot-4, 265-pound Hendickson, who led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024, was granted permission to seek a trade in March after contract discussion broke down this Spring, though nothing much came of it and he elected to report to training camp rather than hold out.
