As Cincinnati Bengals training camp begins, so does a holdout by Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson.
Hendrickson posted a photo from a Florida highway on Instagram as his teammates reported to camp.
The Bengals are required to fine Hendrickson $50,000 for each day of camp he misses. In addition, any preseason or regular-season game he misses would result in $877,777 of salary lost, according to Spotrac.
Hendrickson is under contract with the Bengals for another season, and would earn $16 million if there’s no extension. The Pittsburgh Steelers recently gave defensive star TJ Watt a three-year, $123 million extension with $108M guaranteed.
Hendrickson didn’t win the AP Defensive Player of the Year award last season despite leading the NFL with 17.5 sacks.
