After months of dispute over a potential contract extension, the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson are finally closing in on a new deal, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport reported on Monday. The deal will make him one of the league's highest-paid defenders this season.
The Bengals are giving Hendrickson a $14 million raise on his salary for the 2025 season, boosting it up to $30 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. He can also earn a $1 million incentive if he plays 60% of the defensive snaps in 2025.
