Bengals' Trey Hendrickson Does Not Report to Training Camp Amid Contract Dispute
HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO, JUL 22 – Contract disagreements over guaranteed money and injury clauses leave two key Bengals defensive ends absent as training camp begins, with Hendrickson seeking a deal comparable to top pass rushers.
- On July 22, 2025, Bengals veterans arrived at Cincinnati training camp, but Trey Hendrickson will not report to camp, and Shemar Stewart remains unsigned.
- Hendrickson has pushed for a long-term extension with guarantees on par with elite pass rushers, the Bengals offering only one year of guaranteed money, and Shemar Stewart’s holdout stems from refusing an injury waiver.
- A four-time Pro Bowler since 2021, Hendrickson has amassed 57 sacks with the Cincinnati Bengals and led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024, and subject to $50,000 per day fines for missing camp.
- Mike Brown said Monday, `We're working to get Trey signed as we speak here`, and Coach Zac Taylor hopes both will start Sept. 7 at Cleveland.
- With both holdouts unresolved, Bengals face growing pressure to solidify their defense for the 2025 campaign, as they finished 25th in total defense and leadership aims to resolve issues early to minimise disruption.
