Cincinnati Bengals Begin 2025 Training Camp Amid Rookie Contract Dispute

The Cincinnati Bengals have announced their 2025 training camp dates and preseason schedule, with special sessions for season ticket holders and club members in late July and early August. The team faces significant contract disputes, notably with All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson seeking an extension and a disagreement over contract language with first-round rookie edge rusher Shemar Stewart. Several Bengals players are attending Tight End University in Nashville to enhance their skills, an initiative started by former NFL tight end Greg Olsen. Despite these developments, the Bengals' offseason has been described as a stalemate, reflecting ongoing challenges in team negotiations and roster management. Fans and followers can access extensive team coverage, including interviews and film breakdowns, through dedicated platforms like BengalsTalk.com and the Bengals' YouTube channel. These efforts indicate the franchise's focus on both player development and maintaining strong engagement with its supporters as the 2025 season approaches.
