Cincinnati Bengals star defensive end Trey Hendrickson wants and deserves a new contract. In today’s market, he could demand as much as $30 million per year after leading the NFL in sacks with 17.5.
NFL insider Tony Pauline reported on Wednesday that the Bengals would be willing to trade Hendrickson if no long-term deal can be reached.
“Sources tell me that if the Bengals can’t meet his asking price, there’s a very good chance the team will part ways with Hendrickson and trade him,” Pauline wrote.
Bengals Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin spoke about Hendrickson on Tuesday and expressed his desire to reach a long-term extension.
