What does Bengals' massive re-signings mean for potential Trey Hendrickson trade?

The notoriously cheap Cincinnati Bengals shocked the NFL world late on Sunday night when Jordan Schultz of FOX broke the news that Cincinnati agreed to long-term extensions with wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Both are four-year deals, with Chase's contract making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, surpassing Myles Garrett's recent deal.

There will be no more talk of which team Higgins will play for in 2025. He wanted to be paid — by the Bengals or elsewhere. This new deal not only makes him the highest-paid No. 2 receiver ever but also one of the 10 highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
