2021 I think it was only Parsons
2020 Zero? Chase Young draft.
2019 Nick Bosa maybe Biran Burns?

Edit: Bosa only had 9 his rookie year so that's Zero for 2019 too.

When I listed the previous years, those were those players CAREERS of reaching 10+ sacks. So 2022 was 3 seasons of attempts at reaching 10 from each and still only that few.

Not a single player in 2022 or 2023 reached 10 sacks in their rookie season.

So yeah, there hasn't been a 10-sack rookie since Parsons in 2021.

All year long it seemed to me that the offense was significantly different when he was on the field or not. We all have our opinions on who should have priority to keep.

I'd hate to see Hendrickson go as he might be my favorite Bengal. High character individual and comes to play day in and day out. Lot of respect for him and it will be a big loss. 

That said, I'm holding judgement until this all plays out. 

You have that feeling because Tee missed the first 2 weeks of the season where the offense has been horrible regardless of him being there or not the previous 4 years WITH him.

When he missed that 3 game stretch the Bengals averaged almost 31 points per game without him.

If so, the Bengals could just say, "Hey, we plan on tagging you next year, possibly the year after depending on how well you do."
That would essentially give Hendrickson a 1-year or 2-year extension with all of it guaranteed.

It would also erase any chance he ever has of getting a final large payday in his career because he would be heading into FA going into his age 33 season. 

He'd lose a huge amount of money taking that deal. Heck, he already lost money taking that previous 1-year extension.

Plus "plans" on tagging is not actual guarantees. They can just not tag him at any time if he breaks both his legs and he gets nothing.
