He stated that during the last 30 days he spent in his home in Cincinnati, he felt the pressure, hearing the whispers of training. Hendrickson explained that he received two offers for a short time, but none of them met his demands.

Hendrickson, 30 years old, is leading serious negotiations with the team, hoping for an extension of the contract for one year with a remaining $16 million. Last season, he became one of the league leaders, recording 17.5 sacks. He is expected to miss the first five days of training camp, accumulating a fine of $250,000.
