Cincinnati Bengals Setting Sights on Trey Hendrickson After Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins Deals?

Transcript

00:00But I know a lot of you are thinking, what's next?

00:02Well, naturally, Trey Hendrickson is next.

00:05What's going to happen with Trey Hendrickson?

00:07Is he going to get traded?

00:08Yes, he still has the permission to seek a trade.

00:11Yes, there have been teams that have made offers, but are those offers serious enough

00:16for the Bengals to consider dealing the NFL SAC leader?

00:19Would they be willing to figure it out and get a deal done?

00:24We've seen some smoke today, for sure, from different NFL insiders that, yeah, the Bengals

00:30are hoping to ramp this up.

00:32That does make sense.

00:34It makes sense because the Bengals freed up more cap space.

00:36We don't know exactly how much, but with the Tee Higgins and Jamar Chase deals, that clears

00:41up some cap space.

00:42Jamar was set to have nearly a $22 million cap hit.

00:45Tee Higgins had over a $26 million cap hit.

00:48drop.

00:49It gives the Bengals more time, or more space, rather, to give Trey Hendrickson and fit Trey

00:55Hendrickson under the salary cap and still add to their team.

00:58We know they need a starting guard.

01:00We know they could use another pass rusher.

01:02Hell, I've been on the case, and I've made the case all offseason long, get two, two

01:08starting guards, and we'll see if they do that, but they certainly need one after releasing

01:13Alex Capa earlier this month, so we can all agree there.
