Trey Hendrickson, star defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals, will not attend the mandatory minicamp as he seeks a new long-term contract. This decision follows his non-participation in earlier voluntary workouts, indicating his discontent with the team's proposed short-term deal despite Hendrickson's expectation for guaranteed money. This year marks a repeat of contract-related issues for the team, following Ja'Marr Chase's hold-in last season. Hendrickson's current deal allows him to earn $16 million this season, coming off a career year and establishing himself as a key player for the Bengals.
Hendrickson's only appearance during offseason workouts was to speak to reporters to detail the situation between himself and the team.
Hendrickson will not report for the team's mandatory minicamp that starts Tuesday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Last year, Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase did not partake in any practice drills during minicamp, which started a hold-in that lasted through training camp.
Hendrickson is set to earn $16 million in cash this season and is coming off the best year of his career.
