The NFL regular season is just around the corner, but several star players are still absent from training camps due to ongoing contract negotiations. Here’s the latest on the key holdouts and hold-ins:

Trey Hendrickson, Edge, Cincinnati Bengals

Status: Holding in after holding out, requesting trade Update (Aug. 13): Hendrickson is pushing for a long-term contract as he enters the final year of his current deal. Despite a slight raise in 2022, he is seeking more guaranteed money. The Bengals have attempted to negotiate, but a resolution seems distant.

Cameron Heyward, DT, Pittsburgh Steelers

Status: Holding in Update (Aug. 13): Heyward is looking to restructure his contract extension signed last year. He aims to adjust his roster bonus to better reflect his market value after an All-Pro season. The Steelers' negotiations have been slow, and Heyward has hinted at missing games if unresolved.

Terry McLaurin, WR, Washington Commanders

Status: Holding in, requesting trade Update (Aug. 13): McLaurin and the Commanders remain at a stalemate over a contract extension. With one year left on his current deal, McLaurin is using DK Metcalf’s recent contract as a benchmark. Both sides are firm in their stances, and McLaurin’s future remains uncertain.

Micah Parsons, Edge, Dallas Cowboys

Status: Holding in, requesting trade Update (Aug. 13): Parsons and the Cowboys are no closer to an extension. Despite his trade request, owner Jerry Jones has stated Parsons will not be traded. The Cowboys seem prepared to start the season with Parsons on his fifth-year option.
