One of the biggest holdouts in the NFL preseason has come to an end.
The defensive wing of the Cincinnati Bengals, Trey Hendrickson, the leader of the league in captures a year ago, agreed to end his waiting in the middle of a contract dispute, according to ESPN.
The only problem is that Hendrickson is still without the extension of the contract that has been looking for Cincinnati all the low season.

However, Hendrickson’s commitment field with the training camp could accelerate the process to obtain the 30 -year -old long -term player.
Hendrickson was the last player in the league he held out of the training field, since others, such as the receiver of the Washington commanders, Terry McLaurin, remained a little before joining their teammates.

Hendrickson said last week that he was in Jacksonville, Florida, where he explained the situation of the contract from his point of view with the Bengals.
“I spent the last 30 days in my house in Cincinnati, which is on the other side of the river from the stadium,” said Hendrickson, through Atlético. “They gave us two offers in a 24 -hour period, and [neither] They had the guarantees we were looking for. I wanted to be there, but there is no way that I can sit there in the house and listen to the whistles of the practice while it is also a distraction. I don’t want to ruin the 2025 season of the other 10 boys in my contract language. “
Hendrickson added that he would take a contract with less money, but the guarantees are what matters.
While the president of the Bengals, Mike Brown, said the team would not exchange Hendrickson, said that “we are working to sign Trey again while we talk.”

“And I think it will be done,” he said, through the New York Post.
The Bengals have not seen in the best light this low season, since the First Round Selection Shemar Stewart also dealt with similar contract problems. He had a problem with the contractual language that could cancel his guaranteed money, but finally signed a rookie agreement of $ 18.7 million of $ 18.7 million with $ 10.4 million as a signature bonus.
It is unknown if Hendrickson and the Bengals will reach a common land, but one step in the right direction is the All-Pro in the building to prepare for the 2025 season with their teammates.
Hendrickson, who has done the Pro Bowl every year he has been with Cincinnati since 2021, spent the first four of his eight NFL seasons with the New Orleans Saints, had 17.5 captures last season, as he did in 2023.

He has consolidated himself as one of the best league passes runners, and seeks to pay him as such.
Two of the AFC North of the Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns, also paid their two runners this low season. Myles Garrett of Browns was the first with an agreement that paid $ 40 million per season to become a quarter of the league, and the Steelers broke it with the Watt agreement, with a value of $ 41 million per year.
