Trey Hendrickson is staying in Cincinnati this season.
The Cincinnati Bengals' All-Pro defensive lineman has been the subject of rumors all offseason, clouding his future in the jungle. During the 2024 offseason, Hendrickson requested a trade. During the 2025 offseason, he was given permission to seek a trade and the two sides went back and forth over a new deal.
Now Hendrickson has agreed to a raise that will pay him $14 million more in 2025.
More importantly for the Bengals, check the final box that was on the to-do list this offseason. They already extended Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to solidify the offense. Hendrickson ensures that the defense won't suffer in 2025.
Money is always at the forefront of discussions surrounding the Bengals. At least for one offseason, that can be put to rest.
