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.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Trey Hendrickson may be at an impasse when it comes to their ongoing contract negotiations. Hendrickson discussed his contract dispute with ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday, indicating that the team hasn't contacted him since the NFL draft and the Bengals' latest offers came up well short of his valuation.

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.
