Zac Taylor Says He's Happy to See Trey Hendrickson at Recent Bengals Practice Despite Contract Standoff
- Bengals head coach Zac Taylor expressed satisfaction seeing defensive end Trey Hendrickson attend voluntary workouts on May 13 in Cincinnati despite ongoing contract issues.

- Taylor warned Hendrickson via text about fines for missing mandatory minicamp, but Hendrickson’s frustration grew and he declared he will not play in 2025 under his current contract.
- Taylor emphasized that he carefully considers the timing and manner of his communication, while quarterback Joe Burrow expressed his support for Hendrickson’s choices regarding his career and remains optimistic about the possibility of Hendrickson securing a new contract.
- The unresolved contract dispute creates uncertainty for Hendrickson’s future, potentially affecting the Bengals’ defense as he refuses to play without a new deal in 2025.
