Trey Hendrickson Posts Florida Highway Photo Amid Bengals Contract Holdout
National Football League Trey Hendrickson Posts Florida Highway Photo Amid Bengals Contract Holdout Updated Jul. 22, 2025 11:06 a.m. ET share facebook x reddit link As the Cincinnati Bengals kick off training camp, star defensive end Trey Hendrickson remains away from the team as he seeks an extension. In fact, he's in a different part of the country. Hendrickson posted a photo of himself driving on a Florida highway to Instagram on Tuesday morning. It's difficult to tell which Florida highway Hendrickson ventured on. Logic would say he got on Interstate 75 in Ohio and took the highway all the way down to Florida. Who knows, maybe Hendrickson then dared to go east and made the noble decision to hop on Interstate 95? Could he be on his way to Miami? Maybe Hendrickson is making a one-day trip to Epcot and driving because he couldn't book a flight? Hendrickson has totaled 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons and earned a Pro Bowl nod in each of his four seasons with the Bengals (2021-24), including a 2024 All-Pro honor. Last year, Hendrickson ranked fifth among edge defenders with a 90.4 pass-rush grade, eighth with an 88.1 overall grade and 67th with a 65.9 run-defense grade, according to Pro Football Focus. In all likelihood, the 30-year-old Hendrickson wants a contract and salary in line with what four-time All-Pros Myles Garrett (four-year, $160 million extension with the Cleveland Browns) and T.J. Watt (three-year, $123 million extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers) signed for earlier this offseason. ADVERTISEMENT Hendrickson was given permission to seek a trade in March after failing to gain traction on an extension with the Bengals. Meanwhile, Cincinnati signed wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase (four-year, $161 million deal) and Tee Higgins (four-year, $115 million deal) and tight end Mike Gesicki (three-year, $25.5 million deal) to new deals. The Bengals, who have missed the playoffs in each of the past two seasons, open the 2025 regular season on the road against the AFC North-rival Cleveland Browns on Sept. 7 (1 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app).

From 'Eat a W' to 'it was pain everywhere': Jameis Winston's top viral moments
In 2015, the NFL world was blessed with Jameis Winston's presence, as the quarterback was selected with the No. 1 pick in the draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Winston, a former Pro Bowler who has surpassed 4,000 passing yards in three seasons, will be part of the coverage of FOX Sports' Super Bowl LIX (Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app), bringing his lively personality to the network throughout the week as a digital correspondent. Across his 10-year NFL career, split between the Buccaneers (2015-19), New Orleans Saints (2020-23) and Cleveland Browns (2024), Winston has produced timeless viral moments. Here are some of Winston's most memorable and viral soundbites. "Unwavering faith. Ultimate belief." – 2024 Prior to making his first NFL start in two years, Winston provided some insight into his state of mind, repeating a message of conviction and praise for God. Sure enough, Winston led the Browns to a surprise, 29-24 victory over the AFC North-rival Baltimore Ravens following the aforementioned interview, hitting wide receiver Cedric Tillman for a go-ahead, 38-yard touchdown with 59 seconds remaining in the game. Winston had one of the best games of his career, throwing for 334 yards and three touchdowns, zero interceptions, posting a 115.3 passer rating and completing 65.9 percent of his passes. After the game, Winston explained how Eminem inspired his performance. Winston has played football his whole life, but the quarterback finally realized what his true passion is in 2022. Following a 38-3 Saints win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, which saw Winston throw for five touchdowns, the quarterback revealed the groundbreaking advice his trainer gave him during the week. Everybody has their own eating habits. Winston? He prefers to "eat a W" during football games — in a motivational sense. Sometimes, it hasn't worked. In fact, arguably the most famous "eat a W" came before a 30-10 Buccaneers loss in 2017. Other times, it works or comes in victory, as Winston snuck up behind Drew Brees following a dominating, 38-3 Saints win in 2020. The human body is complex and challenging to understand. Fortunately, Jameis is here to explain how it works. The Saints trailed the Atlanta Falcons 26-10 with 12:41 remaining in their Week 1 matchup. Then, Winston led New Orleans to a comeback victory, highlighted by a pair of touchdown passes to wide receiver Michael Thomas and helping get it in field goal range for Wil Lutz, who connected on a go-ahead and eventual game-winning, 51-yard field goal with 19 seconds remaining. Late in the game, Winston appeared to be hobbled but played through the pain. One could only wonder: "Where was the pain, Jameis?" Simply put: it was "everywhere." Prior to Cleveland's Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Winston gave a legendary interview, explaining that he was ready to roll and grateful to play in snowy conditions — with an enormous smile on his face. Surprise, surprise, snow poured down in the second half, and Winston helped the Browns get the upset victory on their home turf. Winston finished the 24-19 home win with 219 passing yards, while completing 66.7% of his passes, rushing for a 2-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-2 and leading the Browns on a go-ahead TD drive in the final moments. Jameis Winston is truly a one-of-one. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
