With Trey Hendrickson bolting to Florida, neither of the Bengals’ projected top pass rushers is in Cincinnati for training camp. Along with first-round rookie Shemar Stewart, both are facing contract disputes with the team and owner Mike Brown. While Brown has a funny way of showing his appreciation at times, Hendrickson said he respects the man.
Even if he’s not a fan of their contract negotiations. Reportedly, Trey Hendrickson told Good Morning Football’s Manti Te’o that the Bengals’ multiple contract offers featured “atrociously, atrociously low” guarantees. Those guarantees reportedly only extend through the first year of the deal, which is atypical for top contracts.
