The week of the annual NFL owners meeting can turn into a chance for a star player to voice his desire for a bigger contract, which Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson did on Wednesday.

Hendrickson, who has a $15.8 million base salary for 2025, went on ESPN’s “Pat McAfee Show“ to express his contract wishes. That was on the heels of Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn talking about Hendrickson’s contract on Tuesday at the NFL meeting. Hendrickson has been dominant the past two seasons with 17.5 sacks both years.
