The NFL\u2019s reigning sack leader has wanted a trade since the offseason began, and the Bengals even granted his permission to seek a new team.<\/p>\n<p>However, what Hendrickson really wants is to be recognized as one of the best defenders in the league by way of a pay raise. For whatever reason, the Bengals aren\u2019t willing to budge.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>For now, Hendrickson is set to have an $18.6 million cap hit in 2025, the final year of his contract with the Bengals. He hasn\u2019t shown up to voluntary OTAs, and it\u2019s possible he\u2019s planning to boycott training camp too.<\/p>\n<p>From there, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/45362772\/nfl-bengals-trey-hendrickson-contract-holdout\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler<\/a>\u2018s sources indicate that Hendrickson may even be prepared to miss games, and possibly the entire season.

Yet, he has a right to be, being that he\u2019s been waiting on the Bengals to make right with his situation all offseason long. Now that the season is coming closer, Hendrickson is likely getting the itch to play, but he rightfully wants to know where he stands first.<\/p>\n<p>With other top defenders raking in upwards of $30 million per season, it\u2019s only fair for Hendrickson to get paid what he\u2019s worth.
