Trey Hendrickson is an absolute bargain for his production level, and I haven't seen any signs of him dropping off. The best thing that the Bengals could do is throw Big Play Trey about a $50M/2 year extension his way, and call it a day.
Absolutely.
What kind of message does it send the team when the best defensive player, still playing at a high level (NFL sack leader) gets traded instead of paid?
Love it if the Bengalis could bring pressure from someplace else to make things easier on Trey and the secondary. Better yet, having a good enough secondary that they could send more blitzes.
Either would be nice, as the current trend cannot continue.
