The Bengals being open to trading Trey Hendrickson suggests that they’re planning on paying Tee Higgins (in addition to Chase ofc), and also planning on scoring 40 points a game. Which: fair!

Just not sure what the plan is in Cincy. They can walk and chew gum by paying Trey/Higgins/Chase (look at Philly) and they're just...not doing it. Burrow won't be there forever.
It’s the 80’s all over again except this time instead of breakdancing and leg warmers Cincy will revisit the Dolphins Dan Marino and the No Game Defense.
not sure how they can suddenly score 40 with the same wide outs and an even worse defense that can’t get the ball back in their hands 🧐 good luck to them tho
yeah if they do plan on locking up Higgins and bulking up that offensive line then I can understand the method to the madness of dealing Hendrickson. I just hope it is not just a case of being ridiculously cheap and in the end, losing them both.
Doesn't trading him free up $16 million this year? With that they could sign one of the other aging pass rushers like Khalil Mack without touching their current cap space of $51M. With a draft rich in D-line prospects, this seems at worst a lateral move.
Or….they don’t think paying Maxx Crosby money to an almost 31 yr old DE is advisable, and they are willing to see what they can get from a team who will. I love Trey, but this is a smart business move to let him at least look around.
that's great but given they're moving on from hendrickson and anarumo, they seem to also be planning on allowing 50 points a game, which is less great-
Since 1982 there have been 268 seasons in which someone had 13+ sacks (where PFR cuts off sack leaders). How many of those were by someone age 30+? Forty-four (16%). Only seven players did it more than once after thirty, and four of them are in the HoF. Are we sure Trey is in *that* tier?
Lolzzz!
1. It’s Burrow. Check his 2024 stats. He isn’t the problem.
2. It’s receivers. Chase had his best season ever in 2025. Tee was hurt a lot last season bc his hamstring is Swiss cheese.
All of us fans of other AFC North teams are doing backflips right now. Hendrickson is more than a handful. Their defense is about to go right over the cliff.
Who cares football is rigged all sports are it’s one big Ponzi scheme for the rich to get richer and the sports players even richer with the sportsbooks want proof come see me live bet
They'll need to score 45 points per game if they want to field that defense WITHOUT Hendrickson. And considering they couldn't even score 28 ppg last year with all of their weapons, running it back isn't going to add 13ppg to their total. Especially when the D can't get off the field.

Can’t wait to watch Buffalo and Cincy shoot for a hundred points total while being the NFL equivalent of the Knicks.
