The fallout of\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>\u00a0star defensive end Trey Hendrickson unexpectedly showing up and giving a lengthy interview about his contract standoff<\/a> with the team continues.<\/p>\n

Beyond the obvious, another angle that’s worth exploring is what happens if Hendrickson makes good on his threat to sit out.<\/p>\n

Mike Florio<\/a>\u00a0of Pro Football Talk highlighted Haason Reddick as a cautionary tale for Hendrickson while talking about his options, albeit with some unnecessary Mike Brown-related criticism:<\/p>\n

“If Hendrickson wants to skip mandatory minicamp and be fined by the team, that\u2019ll be fine with Bengals<\/a> owner Mike Brown. If Hendrickson wants to give up $50,000 per day to hold out of training camp, Brown will gladly accept the gift.<\/p>\n

And if Hendrickson hopes to sacrifice $888,888 per game to stay away into the regular season, plenty of angels will be getting their wings as the Cincinnati cash register rings and rings.”<\/p>\n

Last year, Reddick missed all of training camp and the first six games of the regular season while holding out for a better contract. Along the way, his agency dropped him and he eventually agreed to a reworked short-term deal, not a long-term pact.<\/p>\n

As we’ve stressed a few times, Hendrickson is stuck. He threatened a holdout last offseason and a report even hinted at the threat of retirement<\/a>. He’s under contract for one more season after signing a short-term extension recently, too.<\/p>\n

Now, Hendrickson can charge forward with his holdout, play next year on the $16 million current contract or accept whatever the Bengals have on the table in terms of an extension. Taking the Reddick route is rare and, clearly, not ideal.<\/p>\n
