Bengals Star Trey Hendrickson Holds Out Ahead of Training Camp
22 Jul
Summary
- Trey Hendrickson, Bengals' star pass-rusher, holds out from training camp
- Contract negotiations between Hendrickson and Bengals have stalled
- Bengals owner says they won't trade Hendrickson, but a trade seems likely
In the days leading up to the start of the Bengals' training camp on July 22, star pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson has been holding out and not reporting to the team. This comes as contract negotiations between Hendrickson and the Bengals have taken a turn for the worse.
Bengals owner Mike Brown has maintained that the team "is not going to trade Trey," but with each passing day, a trade appears to be the most likely resolution to the contract dispute. Hendrickson, who led the league in sacks last season, has posted an Instagram story from Florida just hours before the Bengals' camp began, further fueling speculation about his future with the franchise.
Several teams have been identified as potential landing spots for Hendrickson, should the Bengals decide to move him. These include the Colts, Bears, Packers, Commanders, and Cardinals, all of whom could benefit from adding the talented pass-rusher to their defensive units. However, the Bengals remain adamant that they do not intend to trade Hendrickson, setting the stage for a potentially drawn-out standoff between the two sides.
