Trey Hendrickson requests a trade, according to report

The Bengals have been facing some significant challenges in the offseason, as several key players have expressed interest in leaving the team. Wide receiver Tee Higgins was the first player to request a trade, and now edge rusher Trey Hendrickson has reportedly followed suit.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Hendrickson is seeking more long-term security as he has non-guaranteed base salaries of $14.8 million and $15.8 million for the next two seasons. Despite being willing to negotiate with the Bengals on his contract, they have not been able to meet his demands for long-term security. As a result, Hendrickson has turned to another option – seeking a trade to another club where he can secure more stability in his future career.

Hendrickson has been an outstanding player for the Bengals over the past three seasons, recording 39.5 sacks in just 48 regular season games and adding another 3.5 sacks during Super Bowl LVI. However, it looks like his future may lie elsewhere if the Bengals decide not to grant him a trade request.

While it’s unclear what other players may be considering trades at this time, it seems that the Bengals will need to do some serious work if they want to keep their key talent on board for years to come.

In conclusion, with several key players expressing interest in leaving the team, the Bengals are facing a significant challenge in keeping their roster intact for future seasons. While it remains unclear what other players may be considering trades at this time, it’s clear that the team will need to work hard if they want to retain their top talent and build a winning roster for years to come.
