Bengals Beat Podcast: Bengals 2025 Schedule
Bengals Beat Reporter Kelsey Conway discusses the upcoming 2025 Bengals schedule.
The Cincinnati Bengals have resumed contract talks with star defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who led the NFL in sacks last season with 17.5, according to a report Sunday, June 15, by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Hendrickson did not participate in the Bengals’ offseason workouts, including mandatory minicamp.
In early June, ESPN NFL reporters proposed hypothetical trade offers for four NFL teams for Hendrickson. Fowler had the Indianapolis Colts offering a 2026 second-round pick and 2027 fifth-round pick for Hendrickson, adding that Hendrickson’s reunion with new defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo would make sense.
In May, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy and NFL analyst/former defensive end JJ Watt were among those blasting the Bengals over how they’ve handled negotiations with Hendrickson.
