Trey Hendrickson's contract dilemma with the Bengals seems to have taken a positive turn, with both sides reportedly resuming discussions.

Trey Hendrickson, 30, is coming off back-to-back seasons with 17.5 sacks and is seeking a new contract. The Cincinnati Bengals may finally be making progress in these negotiations.

Amid Cincinnati allocating significant long-term contracts to core offensive talents like quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Hendrickson has remained steadfast in wanting a new deal himself.
