NFL reporter Kay Adams had something to say about Trey Hendrickson, but she sent out a poorly-worded tweet that would go insanely viral.

Hendrickson is present at Cincinnati Bengals offseason workouts, but that is about all he plans on doing for now.

Hendrickson told Bengals reporters he’s become disappointed with the team’s lack of communication, and the contract situation with the team has become “personal.”

He even added that the Bengals are no longer discussing contract talks with him, leaving the star pass rusher available to play elsewhere if they can find a trade partner.

On Tuesday, Kay Adams decided to dive into the story. There are so many layers to it that she had to announce how long she would spend on it.

Unfortunately, it came out all wrong.

 

“I may do 60 minutes straight on Trey Hendrickson tomorrow,” Adams wrote on X.

That tweet appears to be so r@unchy that more than 4.5 million people have seen it, over 500 have commented, and almost 9,000 have liked it.

“Can we watch at least?” one fan said.

“You’re gonna do WHAT!?!?” a second fan questioned.

“My name is Trey Hendrickson 👋,” a third fan claimed.

“60 minutes of what Kay,” a fourth wrote.

“You gonna show us or are we gonna have to use our imaginations?” one final fan commented.

Trey Hendrickson Won’t Play for the Bengals on Current Deal

Cincinnati Bengals Trey Hendrickson speaks at a press conference after practice, Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at Kettering Health Practice Fields in Downtown Cincinnati.
Trey Hendrickson is digging his heels into the sand.

Hendrickson is not participating in the Bengals’ voluntary offseason program as a show of displeasure over his contract. He decided to train elsewhere but showed up on Tuesday to voice his displeasure with the team and head coach Zac Taylor.

Reporters are allowed to one practice a week during the offseason program, and Hendrickson watched in street clothes before he spoke.

Taylor told Hendrickson the Bengals would fine him if he didn’t show up for the mandatory minicamp in June.

“A little bit transpired between me and Zac,” Hendrickson said, via Mike Petraglia of clnscincy.com.

“We’ve tried to keep it as least amount as personal as possible, but at some point in this process, it’s becomes personal. Being sent 30 days before mandatory camp or how many ever days it is that if I don’t show up I will be fined alludes to the fact that something won’t get done in that time frame. With the lack of communication post-draft made it imminently clear to my party — meaning my wife, my son and my agent, a small group of people — that I had informed them that this might not work out. I don’t think it was necessary. I think we should have all hoped for the best until proven otherwise.

“Other things have transpired, like the importance of me being here in OTAs doesn’t seem to be respected. I think I’ve carried a lot of respect. I don’t mean to insinuate anything about anyone’s character, but that was disappointing. I think that was the word of the offseason.”

Trey Hendrickson made it clear that he would not play this season under his current deal.
