Trey Hendrickson wants a new deal, and without one, he wants out of Cincinnati.
While the Bengals don’t have an intent to trade the star, keeping the band together while not paying long-term deals to stars may not be a recipe for success as the 2024 NFL Draft inches closer.
Cincinnati has the No. 18 pick in the first round, and defensive end really didn’t seem like a position group they would target here, especially after spending a first-round pick on Myles Murphy last year.
Could Hendrickson’s request for a trade change that with multiple big-name talents likely on the board when Cincinnati is on the clock?
