Bengals Edge Trey Hendrickson reported to training camp Wednesday, ending an eight-day holdout over displeasure with his contract situation. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that there's no deal on a new contract yet but that "the two sides will keep working."
Both sides would be much better off if they work out a way to get Hendrickson on the field this season.
Cincinnati's defense obviously needs a guy who racked up 17.5 sacks each of the past two years. And Hendrickson turns 31 this December. Losing an entire season to a contract holdout -- or even losing a significant portion -- could doom a career that's likely nearing its end.
We'll see exactly what (if anything) gets worked out. But treat Hendrickson in your IDP drafts as though he's going to be available.
I haven't moved him at all in our IDP rankings amid the contract flak.
