BREAKING: Bengals give Trey Hendrickson permission to be traded

Why would you even make such a statement? Now you are at the mercy of what other teams do, such as Cleveland with Garrett. There was absolutely no value in making such a statement.

And who were the geniuses that didn't sign Chase and Tee last year? Chase could have been signed for probably 35 million/year last year and Tee maybe for $22 million/year. Now the Bengals are looking at a minimum of 40million/year for Chase and probably over $30 million/year for Higgins.

I don't think the Garrett contract has anything to do with Chase's contract. I think guaranteed money or him leveraging himself to get Tee signed long term is the issue.
