With Bengals unwilling to offer a long-term contract with Hendrickson, he has requested for a trade. Has even ‘considered retirement’ amid the trade request.
Trey Hendrickson is due $15 million this season but wants a longer term with the Bengals. If both sides cannot agree on a new contract, Hendrickson has even considered retirement, confirmed by Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Hendrickson is coming off first team All-Pro season and setting a franchise sack record of 17.5 sacks.
The Bengals have two stars who have requested trades due to stalling contract talks, putting a lot of pressure on the team, especially with their 18th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Hendrickson has been an anchor for this team since signing with the Bengals in 2021 where has had 39.5 sacks and 9 fumble forces in three years.
