Bengals owner Mike Brown on new deal for Trey Hendrickson: 'I think it'll get done'
Hendrickson, the NFL's sack leader last season, has been seeking a new contract with the team. Hendrickson did not attend mandatory minicamp in June, but resumed contract talks shortly after.
At the Bengals' annual media luncheon July 21, Bengals owner Mike Brown expressed optimism that the team will be able to sign Hendrickson.
"I think it'll get done," Brown said, according to ESPN's Ben Baby.
The Bengals have made a push to give Hendrickson a new deal heading into training camp with several offers, including a recent one over the last couple of days, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

The Bengals granted Hendrickson's request to seek a trade earlier this offseason. The four-time Pro Bowl defensive end publicly voiced his frustration with the organization in May due to the lack of communication after the draft.
Hendrickson attended but did not participate in Bengals practice May 13 but told reporters afterward that he would not play the upcoming season on his current deal. Hendrickson is entering the final year of his contract and is set to make $15.8 million this season.
The Enquirer will update this story.

ASML Just Quietly Booked Billions for Its EUV Machines. Is It Time to Buy the Stock?
Key Points ASML's management doesn't know for sure whether it's going to grow next year, and this unsettles investors. The company is still confident with its long-term outlook, which is what long-term investors will want to focus on. 10 stocks we like better than ASML › Many people have never heard of ASML (NASDAQ: ASML), and fewer could explain what the company does. But chances are that you're within reach of a product that ASML helped create. Modern computers, mobile devices, and even cars wouldn't be possible without one very important thing -- lithography -- and ASML dominates that market. The company's dominance in lithography -- which I'll explain momentarily -- has led to good returns for shareholders over the last decade. ASML stock is up more than 600% during this time, compared to a 200% return for the S&P 500. However, while long-term returns have been stellar, the company's recent returns haven't been so hot. On July 16, ASML reported financial results for its second quarter of 2025, and the stock dropped about 8% in a day. In short, investors didn't like something they heard. Referring to its potential growth in 2026, CEO Christophe Fouquet said, "We cannot confirm it at this stage," due to all of the macro-economic uncertainty. That's all it took to spook investors. However, there's something that ASML investors appear to be overlooking: The company quietly just booked billions for its extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines. And that's hugely important context when thinking about ASML's future. ASML is still booking billions In the semiconductor space, everything is getting smaller and more complex, which leads to the need for more complex machines. That's where ASML comes in. It makes advanced lithography machines that have a near monopoly in the market. Companies making microchips need ASML's machines. There are a variety of ASML machines that use different processes, but the best-selling line is its EUV machines, which accounted for 48% of Q2 net system sales. The extreme ultraviolet light's wavelength is short enough to work on the world's smallest chips. ASML's Q2 numbers looked good. Q2 net sales of 7.7 billion euros were above expectations. And earnings per share (EPS) of 5.9 euros were also higher than expected. Both of these outperformances were relatively modest. By contrast, analysts only expected ASML's net bookings to be around 4.2 billion euros, whereas it reported Q2 net bookings of 5.5 billion euros -- a roughly a 30% beat. (Bookings are when the company receives an order in writing. By comparison, net sales refers to when a machine is delivered or installed.) Keep in mind that a single EUV machine from ASML can cost around $280 million, so it doesn't take too many surprise orders to swing bookings in a big way. Still, the 30% outperformance does suggest ongoing health in the semiconductor manufacturing space. So what's the problem? Semiconductor manufacturers are almost guaranteed to spend significant money in the coming years as trends such as artificial intelligence (AI), driverless cars, and renewable energy will drive demand more than ever. Manufacturers will need to spend on equipment to increase supply. It's not so much a question of "if" as "when." However, capital expenditures could be delayed because executives are waiting until uncertainty dies down. With ever-changing tariffs, companies can't predict what expenses will be. It's better to wait for the dust to settle, if possible. This is what Fouquet was referring to with his prediction for ASML's business in 2026. Its products still dominate the market, and its customers will still need them. But will they buy in 2026 or later? That's what management is unsure of and why the stock dipped. This could be an opportunity for investors who take a longer-term view on ASML stock. As the chart below shows, the stock's price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 31 is well below its 10-year average valuation. Looking ahead to 2030, ASML's outlook hasn't changed. By 2030, it believes it will generate revenue of 44 billion euros to 60 billion euros. For perspective, the company expects to generate revenue of about 32.5 billion euros this year. Assuming it hits the midpoint of its 2030 guidance, ASML will generate revenue of 52 billion euros in five years. That's growth of 60%, which is pretty good. Factoring in the company's dividend and stock buyback program, ASML stock could be a market-beating investment. The good thing for investors considering ASML stock today is its safety. Granted, it's possible for another company to develop a machine that makes ASML's own obsolete -- anything is possible. But ASML is considered to be well ahead of the competition in an important market, which gives its business strong profits margins. This has helped to create a strong balance sheet. In conclusion, I think ASML stock is unlikely to lose money for investors over the next five years. The business is too strong, and its products are too important. But the timing of orders could cause the stock to drop at times, like it has now. For long-term investors who believe in the company's 2030 outlook, these drops in stock price could be opportunistic entry points. Should you invest $1,000 in ASML right now?

‘Don't act like we're bringing in a scrub': Why Lions believe they'll rebound from brain drain
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — As Terrion Arnold jogged out to practice Monday morning, he turned back to a coach and nodded: I know I've got research to do. Arnold wasn't talking to his teammates about a conversation they had in the locker room. The Detroit Lions' 2024 first-round draft pick wasn't talking to defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard, either, nor to his defensive backs coach. The cornerback was following up about a research assignment from … receivers coach, Scottie Montgomery? Neither player nor coach found this unusual. 'Always trying to get that extra,' Montgomery, who's also assistant head coach, told Yahoo Sports. 'Things that they can see that maybe we're putting on tape, but definitely that other people are putting on tape. To help them get to not only formation recognition better, but route recognition. 'A lot of questions and answers.' Montgomery spoke about the cross-field collaboration as if it is normal and standard in the NFL. In Detroit, he said, the offensive and defensive line coaches aid players across the line of scrimmage. As running backs coach last year, Montgomery alerted linebackers to keys worth remembering. Like the level of physicality in Lions practices, this is not the NFL norm. There are some teams that don't organize interdisciplinary conversations at all and others that do so only during a bye week as the exception rather than the rule. In Year 5 of head coach Dan Campbell, the Lions expect more. 'The maturation process of our program, of what Dan has been able to do for the organization — it just kind of turned everything into think tank,' Montgomery said. 'We're going against each other in training camp [and] there's no doubt we're competing our ass off. 'But at the same time, we know that this is for a bigger goal that's going to start a bit later.' [Get more Lions news: Detroit team feed] The think tank mentality sweeping the Lions organization has contributed to Detroit's recent success, the Lions' playoff berths the past two years were their first consecutive postseasons since 1993-1995. The Lions are looking to follow their 2023 season NFC championship appearance and 2024 franchise-record 15 wins with the spotlight that's eluded the franchise its entire history. Detroit has never played in, much less won, a Super Bowl. Multiyear success is a good start. But the Lions lost three key members of their braintrust during the offseason. Their plan for maintaining the standard amid turnover at offensive coordinate, defensive coordinator and center? Enter the think tank. 'We're going to do what we do here from Dan more than anybody else — he's the top of the brain trust,' Montgomery said. 'Everything changes. Nothing stays the same. 'If it is, the complacency will kill you.' The trio they lost — and the trio they found Success, rather than complacency, was the demise of the 2024 Lions group. The Chicago Bears hired Ben Johnson as their head coach while the New York Jets hired Aaron Glenn to lead their franchise. Early in the summer, the Lions also lost four-time Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow to retirement. No one disputes the talent and foundation each of the three brought the club, or the work it will take to replace them. But the think tank mentality means the Lions aren't starting from scratch building new schemes and playbooks to match their play-callers. The play-callers aren't starting from scratch, either. 'It's not like we're going from Ben and AG to some coaches that don't know anything,' wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown told Yahoo Sports. 'Don't act like we're bringing in a scrub. 'These coaches know ball.' Sheppard was promoted internally after coaching linebackers and outside linebackers after Glenn the past four years. He was in the building for all of Glenn's installations, meetings and play-calls; he contributed to last year's seventh-ranked scoring defense (the Lions did rank 20th in yards allowed, in part stemming from when injuries bled their depth). Like Glenn, Sheppard played in the NFL — a linebacker for five teams across eight seasons. In St. Brown's words: not a scrub. On offense, John Morton spent time first as a player on the Packers' and Raiders' practice squads and more recently on the coaching staffs for six different clubs. His 2022 senior offensive assistant role with the Lions meant he was front and center as Johnson first installed the Lions' most recent offense. As Broncos pass game coordinator in 2023 and 2024, Morton subsequently helped Sean Payton turn around Denver. 'So he kind of knows what we've been doing here, he knows the players and, like he says: he's going to continue to do the things that we do well,' St. Brown said. The Lions ranked first in scoring offense and second in offensive production last season. 'We've been a pretty good offense for the past few years, so a lot of the stuff that we've been good at we've kept in,' St. Brown said. 'Then, obviously, Johnny Mo's going to add his wrinkles.' Expect shifts in formations and tweaks in motions, but not a full overhaul thanks to the retention of run game coordinator and offensive line coach Hank Fraley. Fraley 'was a big driving force probably in the fact that everything didn't change, which I'm happy about,' left guard Graham Glasgow told Yahoo Sports. 'They did a good job of making it so that it's not all completely new, which I appreciate.' That's by design for the Campbell think tank, which aims to maximize each member of its staff but not rely too heavily on them to regroup when success prompts promotions elsewhere. On the offensive line, Glasgow is teaching second-round rookie Tate Ratledge some of what Ragnow taught him, sharing tips on how to read hand placement to detect pressure and whom to help first when uncovered during a play-action pass. 'He always was good at keeping a bigger-picture view of what we were supposed to do,' Glasgow said of Ragnow. 'Frank was always just a tough play who's really f***ing smart. 'I feel like you can always learn little things from that.' In 2025, Lions looking 'to close out some debts' The Lions' return to postseason relevance under Campbell felt good at first. 'When nobody has expectations for you to win games or go far or win playoff games, it feels nice when you're doing those things,' Glasgow said. 'But then … last year we win all those games for what? To go home?' January left a bitter taste in Detroit's mouth. The Lions hosted the upstart Washington Commanders in the divisional round before an electric Detroit fan base. Five turnovers doomed the Lions' offense while a slew of late-season injuries decimated their defense. The Commanders upset Detroit, 45-31. 'We've created this chip on our shoulder this offseason to understand 'close' is not close,' Montgomery said. Campbell told his roster during an early training camp team meeting: There must be a reckoning. 'We're out to finish what we started, we're going to close out some of these debts,' Campbell reiterated the message Monday morning. External expectations ticked up quickly last offseason … and now hang in limbo. Players know they're no longer the NFC favorites and their luster has lost some shine even as they believe in their consistent-over-flashy principles. In some ways, St. Brown says, the expectation that the Lions will hover in the range of fifth to 10th is more comfortable for this team and this city than the feared favorites. Few expected them to make it to the NFC championship two seasons ago, just as few expected drafting Jahmyr Gibbs 11th overall to be an investment that returned handsomely and few believed at first in what now borders on the legend of Dan Campbell. 'We're not back to square one, but we're back to square 'you're still underdogs,'' St. Brown said. 'We feel like we play best when we're underdogs. We love being the underdog [and it] gives us that hunger, that fight [that] our team is built off. 'We're right where we need to be.'
