The Cincinnati Bengals and Pro Bowl defensive end Trey Hendrickson reached a contract extension that will keep him in Cincinnati through the 2025 season.
Hendrickson, 29, entered the upcoming season with a $15 million cap hit. His original deal went through the 2023 season with a cap hit of $17.5 million. By extending him one more year, it gives the Bengals more cap flexibility for the future as they have several key players seeking contract extensions.
Exact details of Hendrickson’s contract extension have not been released yet but it’s clear by doing this ahead of signing quarterback Joe Burrow, wide receiver Tee Higgins and linebacker Logan Wilson, this move was made to help the Bengals from a cap standpoint.
