Massive rise secured - The new contract gives Hendrickson a $14 million salary increase, bringing his total earnings in 2025 to $30 million, a significant reward for his performance as one of the league's finest pass rushers.

Future free agency on the horizon - The agreement only lasts until the 2025 season, so Hendrickson might be available for free agency next year unless the Bengals choose to slap the franchise tag on him.

Elite output drives value. Hendrickson has become one of the NFL's most dominating edge rushers, with 35 combined sacks over the last two seasons, establishing himself as a cornerstone defender.

Rocky road to resolution - The deadlock featured public outrage, multiple trade explorations, training camp disruptions, and even a holdout and a hold-in as Hendrickson's camp battled for appropriate compensation.

Cincinnati avoids losing a star. By concluding the agreement, the Bengals retained their Pro Bowl pass rusher for another season, eliminating a potential locker-room problem and retaining a defensive leader for 2025.
