Yesterday, Cynthia Frelund compared Hendickson’s and Lawson’s next gen stats. Similar stats. Similar money. Bengals get an extra year with Hendrickson compared to the Jets and Lawson.
However, Hendrickson doesn’t have Lawson’s durability issues. So after reflecting a little, I think the Bengals probably made the right move giving similar money to a similar player who will most likely be more durable over the duration of the contract even though she classified the deal as a head scratcher.
