The Cincinnati Bengals have reached agreement with All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson on a revised one-year contract that will pay him about $30 million for the 2025 season, according to multiple reports. The figure represents a $14 million raise over his previous 2025 compensation. Hendrickson, who had been seeking a multi-year extension throughout the offseason, ultimately accepted the Bengals’ stance of guaranteeing only a single season. The team tore up the final year of his prior deal and replaced it with the more lucrative one-year pact, positioning the pass rusher to enter unrestricted free agency in 2026. Retaining Hendrickson secures one of Cincinnati’s defensive cornerstones as the Bengals pursue a return to the playoffs behind quarterback Joe Burrow. Hendrickson has recorded double-digit sacks in each of his four seasons since leaving New Orleans in 2021.
