Cincinnati Bengals star Trey Hendrickson wants a long-term deal, but that’s hard to do right now.
On July 27, 2023, Hendrickson signed a contract extension and isn’t fully eligible for a new deal yet.
Sports agent Jesse James brought this note from the CBA to light after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Hendrickson’s desire to play elsewhere.
Per the NFL CBA, Hendrickson can add years to his current contract but can’t add any increase in money to his 2024 or 2025 seasons for several more months. So that effectively nukes a new deal being done right now, which makes Hendrickson’s trade demand even more confusing.
