Trey Hendrickson, 30, is coming off back-to-back seasons with 17.5 sacks and is seeking a new contract. The Cincinnati Bengals may finally be making progress in these negotiations.

Amid Cincinnati allocating significant long-term contracts to core offensive talents like quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Hendrickson has remained steadfast in wanting a new deal himself.

The Cincinnati Bengals and All-Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson resumed talks on a long-term contract extension after spending much of the offseason in a standoff with one another, according to a report by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
