That pales in comparison to the recent $40 million average deal Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett signed in the offseason. Hendrickson has indicated he won&#8217;t play without a bump in pay and expressed disappointment in the process in mid-May.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2025\/06\/09\/19\/99190961-0-image-a-6_1749493184218.jpg\" alt=\"JD Vance hatches plan to bring Bengals holdout Trey Hendrickson back to  Cincinnati... but VP wants to know if he's a Republican or Democrat | Daily  Mail Online\" \/><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-5\">&#8220;When there&#8217;s a lack of communication in any relationship, where it&#8217;s a business or personal relationship, lack of communication leads to animosity, and that leaves my narrative only to me with no clear direction,&#8221; Hendrickson said May 13 when asked about whether he wants to remain with the Bengals.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-6\">Hendrickson had 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons with that output being the best in the league in 2024. He has 57 total sacks in his four seasons with Cincinnati and has made the Pro Bowl on each occasion.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-7\">Overall, Hendrickson has 77 career sacks in 110 games (81 starts), divided equally between the New Orleans Saints (2017-20) and Bengals.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-8\">Bengals rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart also is in a dispute with the team over the language in his contract.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-9\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deadspin | Report: Bengals restart talks with star DE Trey Hendrickson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25870,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
