For a time, Maxx <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/sidney-crosby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Crosby<\/a> and Myles Garrett were the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in the league. Josh Sweat, Harold Landry, and DeMarcus Lawrence have also cashed in significantly.<\/p>\n<p>The Cincinnati Bengal has been wanting to join Joe Burrow, Ja&#8217;Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins in having monstrous contract extensions; and Fox Sports&#8217; Jordan Schultz revealed a new &#8220;fluid&#8221; update on negotiations:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;One league source even suggested they should punt to 2026 and give him a one-year deal worth $30 million \u2014 though it&#8217;s unclear if that would appease Hendrickson&#8230; The Bengals recognize Hendrickson&#8217;s importance to the team and remain in constant contact with his camp, hoping to get something done.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In relation to that, Sports Illustrated&#8217;s James Rapien shared that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/danielle-hunter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Danielle Hunter<\/a>&#8216;s new extension could serve as a benchmark for what the organization can give Trey Hendrickson:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Hendrickson is set to make $16 million in base salary this season. (The Bengals) would need to give him a significant raise this year and make him one of the NFL&#8217;s highest-paid defensive ends on a one-year extension. Like Hunter, he&#8217;s probably looking for a multi-year deal that includes a significant increase in pay this season.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Indianapolis Colts have been projected as the top trade destination for Hendrickson, having coaches who have worked with him and needing a replacement for now-Chicago Bear Dayo Odeyingbo.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Chaitanya Prakash<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\nvar pixelID = \"952063904834769\";\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', pixelID); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\ndocument.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel);\ndocument.removeEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel);\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/news-nfl-fans-stunned-danielle-hunter-s-35-600-000-contract-extension-texans\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Danielle Hunter is remaining in Texas beyond 2025.
