All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson is expected to report to training camp on Wednesday despite not having a new deal in place, according to ESPN’S Adam Schefter.

Hendrickson did not report to camp last week because he’s seeking a long-term extension with an amount of guaranteed money that matches what the league’s top pass rushers are earning. He is scheduled to earn $15.8 million in base salary this season and has a cap number of $18.7 million.

Hendrickson is being fined $50,000 per day during his holdout and hopes reporting to camp “serves as a good-faith gesture to try to jumpstart negotiations,” Schefter wrote in an X post.

He did not attend last month’s mandatory minicamp, but did make an appearance during an offseason workout in May to vent his frustrations about negotiations.

Hendrickson led the league with 17 1/2 sacks last season. His 57 sacks since joining the Bengals in 2021 are third most in the league over the past four seasons.
