Not My Idea-But It Should Be Discussed: What is Hendrickson worth in trade?

Keep Trey, trade Tee, get new coaches.

This Bengals staff/FO cares too much about having guys in their mid-20's than having guys that can flat-out produce.

Higgins is great...when healthy.
He's missed 10 games already since the beginning of 2023, putting up just over 1200 yards and 10 TDs in 19 games played.

Meanwhile, Hendrickson has missed only 1 game through his 4th season with the Bengals, amounting 51.0(!!!!!) sacks in that timeframe.

Hendrickson's sack production in 2025 (and 2026?) is more valuable than maybe 200-300 extra yards compared to a typical WR2, IMO.

IMO, an 800-1000 yard WR is about equivalent to a pass rusher who gets ~7-8 sacks in a season. A Sam Hubbard type.
Hendrickson is a consistent double-digit sack guy. He's a bona fide WR1 kinda dude. JaMarr Chase.
You don't let a Chase walk to keep a Higgins.
