by Cincinnati Bengals could prepare to make this off -season a few movements. The Bengals gave the defensive winger All-Pro Trey Hendrickson the authorization to request an exchange, according to several reports on Thursday.
“It was an honor and a privilege to represent Cincinnati in the past four years,” said Hendrickson, via Adam Schefter d’Espn. “I love this city and this organization. I appreciate the privilege of being now allowed to explore my options.”
Hendrickson has spent the last four seasons in Cincinnati and has been appointed to Pro Bowl in the past four consecutive years. Last season, he was appointed first All-Pro team and was a finalist for the defensive player of the year.
Hendrickson led the NFL in bags last year and won 17.5 bags in each of the last two seasons. He also picked up 33 solo plated and two forced escapes.
By letting Hendrickson look for a trading partner, Bengals rotate their goal for Ja’mar Chase and Tee Higgins receptors. Chase worked towards an extension to stay in Cincinnati, with the best leader of Bengals, Duke Tobin, committing to make him the “non-QB paid n ° 1 in the league”. Higgins, meanwhile, was marked in franchise by the team for the second consecutive year.
There were questions about how Cincinnati could afford contracts with the three players; Now, Bengals can focus on the extension of Chase and potentially obtain its extension.
Trading Trey Hendrickson seems to make the Tee Higgins more likely. Currently, are under the second consecutive franchise label. The leaders of the League had questions about the will of the Bengals to pay Ja’marr, Tee and Trey. Trey Trade could clear the way to lock Star WR Duo. https://t.co/pxr3syunbc

Trading Hendrickson would help to release part of this money: the basic wages of the 30 -year defensive endré is $ 15.8 million in 2025. His contract ends after this season, which means that it had an extension. Instead, Bengals will leave him going around.
