The Trey Hendrickson contract saga with the Bengals could finally be close to the finish line. Bengals owner Mike Brown spoke to the media Monday about the ongoing contract drama between the team and its All-Pro edge rusher on the eve of mandatory training camp.

On Wednesday, the Bengals officially placed Hendrickson on the reserve/did not report list. Hendrickson's placement on that list allows the Bengals to fine him $50,000 for each day he is absent from training camp (although some teams in the past have chosen to not enforce these fines).
