CINCINNATI -- Trey Hendrickson's contract situation is resolved.

The star pass rusher will get a $14 million raise from the Cincinnati Bengals for this season, boosting his 2025 salary to $30 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Hendrickson is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.

Before receiving the raise, Hendrickson had not participated in any offseason workouts, including all of training camp, while seeking a new deal with the club. He had insisted he would not play this season under the original contract at $16 million.
