Trey Hendrickson Latest and 2025 Bengals Roster Finalization—OBI

(Editor’s Note: This episode was recorded prior to the Bengals’ signing of Dalton Risner.)

The Cincinnati Bengals are marching towards the regular season and they are making headlines. Aside from finalizing their roster, they came to an agreement, of sorts, with their star defensive end.

Trey Hendrickson and the Cincinnati front office have been at odds since the spring of 2024, but earlier this week, they came to a middle ground. While a long-term deal wasn’t reached, both sides found grounds for an agreement, as Hendrickson will now be paid upwards of $30 million for his 2025 services.

Aside from that headline, Cincinnati is finalizing its roster for the year. While they may look at the waiver wire, free agency might still be an option. And, as it goes this time of year, many feel they won’t be able to retain some of their own cuts, but that is largely inaccurate.

• What does the future hold for Hendrickson and the Bengals?
• Cincinnati made their final roster decisions–with a couple of small surprises.
