Without Hendrickson, the Bengals playoff hopes are already over. Their defense is already looking like it will be rough at best, but without your All-Pro sack king? It would be the worst in the league. We saw last year that even if you ask Burrow to throw it 40 times a game to put up MVP-like numbers and Chase has a triple crown, that's still not enough. That's then a third straight season of missing the playoffs, another year of Burrow's career gone, and a souring of fans who the Blackburns want money from.
It's why star players have always had more say and leverage. There's so few of them, they have a massively outsized impact compared to non-stars, and they're so hard/impossible to replace.
Our stalling in rewarding our star players ( except Burrow) has cost us a lot of money.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
