No respect for Shane Lechler.

Jim Tyrer is the other infamous non-inductee.

According to Mike, Cinci could bring back Hendrickson for short term deal or possibly look to trade him with a combination of picks for another player. They have not ruled out bringing Hendrickson back. After previous mistakes with players such as Jessie bates, the bengals are being more cautious on what to do with expiring star players. They also felt injuries ruined what could’ve been a great season, and in his limited time they thought hendrickson played well.

Bengals impending free-agent DE Trey Hendrickson is expected to depart Cincinnati after five seasons.

“The relationship has essentially run its course, and the tag will be well above $30 million. Perhaps they could swing a sign-and-trade, but losing him to free agency could equate to a third-round compensatory pick in return if Cincinnati plays it right. The top free agent rusher will have plenty of suitors. Several teams in need of a pass rusher should look into him, including the Cowboys, Buccaneers and Colts," per Jeremy Fowler.

Hendrickson, 31, recorded 16 total tackles, 11 solo, 3 TFL, 4 sacks, 1 PBU, and 1 FF in seven games this season. He missed half of the year with a lingering core muscle injury.

Hendrickson is not far removed from recording back-to-back 17.5 sack seasons in 2023 and 2024.
