Trey Hendrickson has used his voice to publicly express his desire for a new deal, and recently, his tone has taken a harsh turn as contract negotiations with the Cincinnati Bengals have stalled over the last few weeks.

Moe Moton of Bleacher Report made a list of offers that the Bengals may accept for Hendrickson and the Colts made the list. He predicted that the shoe would need to trade second and sixth-round picks to bring in the former New Orleans Saint.

It's gotten so bad that Hendrickson said he will not play for the Bengals in 2025 without a new deal. He's even using a shark attack metaphor to describe why he's on the defensive with Cincinnati on the contract dispute.
