We have an extension!
No, it’s not Joe Burrow or Tee Higgins, but it’s still an important one.
On Thursday, the Cincinnati Bengals signed defensive end Trey Hendrickson to a one-year extension, who is now under contract through the 2025 season.
Terms of the deal have not been disclosed. His cap hits were $15.4 million for this season and $17.5 million in 2024, so this is expected to create more cap space this year as the team looks to extend Burrow, Higgins, and Logan Wilson.
Hendrickson, a seventh-year NFL player in 2023, joined the Bengals as an unrestricted free agent in 2021 after spending his first four professional seasons with the New Orleans Saints.
