Reports have indicated that the Bengals don't want to guarantee multiple years of money on Hendrickson's deal, a standard operating procedure in Cincinnati, except when they make exceptions like Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase. Star defensive ends elsewhere in the league have usually gotten three years of guaranteed money.

The contract dispute between the Cincinnati Bengals and Trey Hendrickson took a wrong turn on Tuesday when the All-Pro edge rusher didn't report to training camp with the rest of the team's veteran players.
