Patriots’ Rookie TreVeyon Henderson Faces Contract Standoff as Training Camp Looms<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The New England Patriots’ rookies may have stormed into training camp, but practices don’t start firing up until July 23, and second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson\u2019s unsigned contract ignites yet more drama. Will the electrifying Ohio State running back hold out, following a league-wide trend? The NFL world is buzzing.<\/p>\n

NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport reports <\/a>30 of 32 second-round picks, including Henderson, remain unsigned, as Los Angeles Chargers\u2019 Tre Harris, drafted No. 55, holds out after missing the rookie deadline. Only Cleveland\u2019s Carson Schwesinger and Houston\u2019s Jayden Higgins secured fully guaranteed deals. This has sparked a league-wide push for similar contracts.<\/p>\n

The standoff centers on guaranteed money, and that’s no surprise. Spotrac projects Henderson\u2019s No. 38 pick could land a four-year, $11.13 million deal with a $5.4 million signing bonus. Second-rounders, inspired by Schwesinger and Higgins, demand full guarantees, delaying negotiations. New Orleans\u2019 Tyler Shough, picked No. 40, seeks a fully guaranteed deal, further stalling talks for picks like Henderson.<\/p>\n

His OTA and minicamp performances highlighted his explosive potential.<\/p>\n

The Patriots view Henderson as a three-down threat, capable of stretching defenses with his speed and vision. His college stats\u20141,016 yards at 7.1 yards per carry in 2024\u2014scream big-play ability. Yet, the unsigned contract looms. Will Henderson sign and dazzle, or will the holdout saga escalate? Time is running out.<\/p>\n
