You are Katie, which contract do you finalize first?

Only one of Higgins, Chase, and Hendrickson is set to hit FA next month.

He has to be priority or the Bengals likely lose him.
We've seen too often Bengals let someone hit FA and are surprised that player gets the offers they do, only to lose them.

Hendrickson is the only worthwhile DL to pay another contract for currently, coming off as sack leader, and is in final year under contract.
While he may drop off some over these next couple years, I think he can be a double-digit sack guy for 2-3 more years, so I'd look to get an extension for him this Summer on an extra 1-year or 2-year deal.

Chase is a justifiable tag (twice) candidate, so there's time for him.
Each year that goes by bumps up his cost though on new deal.
