Bengals should not expect a sudden huge dropoff to <8 sacks after back-to-back 17.5 sack seasons.
Hendrickson still has a few good years left.
Given Bengals already have him under contract this year, they should either A) give him a 2-year extension on top of that for ~$70 mill and guarantee ~$40 mill of it, or B) give him a 3-year extension for ~$100 mill with ~$50 mill guaranteed.
Option B should allow the Bengals to easily cut ties with Hendrickson in his Age 33 season if he falters in his Age 32 season.
But I would be very confident he can still produce very well the next 2 years, with his 3rd year being more "solid" if anything around 6-8 sacks. And Chase Young signed a $17 mill APY contract for around that level of production.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
