Trey Hendrickson, a standout defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals, has been a pivotal force on their defense since joining the team in 2021. Over his tenure, Hendrickson has earned Pro Bowl honors in each of his three seasons with the Bengals, showcasing consistent excellence and leadership on the field.
In the 2024 season, Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks, setting a new franchise record and reinforcing his status as one of the league’s premier pass rushers.
The Bengals have recently secured significant contract extensions with wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, totaling $276 million.
While these deals solidify the offense, attention turns to Hendrickson’s contract situation. He has one year remaining on his current contract, and negotiations for a long-term extension are ongoing. Both Hendrickson and the Bengals are keen to finalize a deal before the NFL Draft in April, aiming to maintain the team’s competitive edge.
Beyond his on-field contributions, Hendrickson is also noted for his community involvement. He recently participated in a skydiving event where he visited hospitalized children, demonstrating his commitment to making a positive impact off the field.
