Trey Hendrickson’s contract negotiations with the Cincinnati Bengals have not progressed, prompting him to train in Jacksonville.<\/h2>\n

The Cincinnati Bengals\u2019 holdout on forging a fresh deal with defensive end Trey Hendrickson has failed to progress over the week. In a recent conversation with The Athletic, Hendrickson revealed that he\u2019s currently in Jacksonville training after negotiations with the Bengals failed to yield the results and guarantees he had hoped for.<\/p>\n

Trey Hendrickson on Cincinnati Bengals’ holdout<\/h2>\n

\u201cI spent the last 30 days at my home in Cincinnati, which is across the river from the stadium,\u201d Hendrickson told The Athletic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were given two offers within a 24-hour period, and (neither) of them had the guarantees we were looking for. I wanted to be there, but there\u2019s no way I would be able to sit there in the house and hear the practice whistles while also being a distraction. I don\u2019t want to ruin the other 10 guys\u2019 2025 season on my contract language,\u201d he went on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was more than willing to take less in some ways in order to make a deal work to accommodate the presented needs. I verbalized to the Bengals that I wanted to be a captain, to lead a young defense. And once rookie Shemar Stewart gets back at camp, I want to pass along the knowledge that I have, just like Cam Jordan once did for me. As I see it, Shemar and I are not competitors, we\u2019re teammates. I\u2019m excited to go to work with him when the time comes,\u201d Hendrickson added.<\/p>\n

Fans were earlier hopeful that talks would proceed in a positive direction when Hendrickson shared a photo on his Instagram Story, with the location tag revealing he was in Florida.<\/p>\n

Just a day before that, Bengals owner Mike Brown expressed his desire to keep Hendrickson on as part of the team. \u201cWe will get it done at some point, I think. I think we are in a good spot. I hope this thing comes together soon,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n

During his conversation with The Athletic, Hendrickson spoke about Brown with positive regard.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a man, he\u2019s amazing. I don\u2019t think anyone in Cincinnati has a bigger heart, I understand this is part of the business\u2026 I don\u2019t want to repeat my actions at (mandatory) minicamp,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a great relationship with Zac [Taylor] and I want to keep it that way. The Bengals want me to be in Cincinnati and I want to be in Cincinnati.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deal is currently at a stale point since the Bengals are only willing to offer one year of guaranteed money to the 30-year-old player.<\/p>\n
