After months of disputing over his 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.
Hendrickson's deal is for just one year, as both sides wanted to complete something before the start of the 2025 season. Both Cincinnati and Hendrickson reviewed various options, but this is the one they went with in the end. Hendrickson is still set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2026.
