The bad news: this defense would be BAD without Hendrickson. And I mean Bad with a capital B. You can't build a house without a foundation. You can't have a good modern defense if you can't rush the passer. 

Depressing news: guys like Brady and Polamalu took pay cuts in order to win. Have the Bengals had anyone in their room express fealty to the organization in a similar manner?  If I'm remember correctly, Troy P actually left money on the table to retire when the team asked him to. How'd the FO treat Big Whit again? Sent him a text about how they "didn't value an aging tackle" or something? Burrow or no Burrow, there seems to be a big difference when it comes to championship culture. 

Yeah but the defense was bad with him last year, so if he isn't here this season, then whatever additions there are better be insanely good.
