Trey Hendrickson, a key defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals, has been given permission to seek a trade, highlighting his desire for a new contract. Hendrickson, who led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season and has made the Pro Bowl in all four seasons with the Bengals, has voiced his need for better compensation. Despite being under contract until 2025, he continues to express his wish for an arrangement that reflects his performance, especially given his salary ranking among edge rushers in the league.
"It's been an honor and privilege to represent Cincinnati over the last four years," Hendrickson said in a statement released to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"I love this city and organization. I appreciate the privilege of now being allowed to explore my options."
Hendrickson is under contract through the 2025 season but has stated a desire for a new contract, dating back to a failed trade request last season.
Despite being one of the league's most productive players over the past few seasons, he ranks 11th in average annual salary among edge rushers.
