Or just not giving up a pick of my own to go with Parsons. Just Parsons for Hendrickson+early pick.
But you talk about how you think Hendrickson would probably get much less guaranteed than Parsons, but then why would Bengals be trading? The biggest hangup in contract negotiations with them is guaranteed money.
What the Bengals may be more willing to go is trade Hendrickson to a team with a good but not quite as productive guy who is ~3-5 years younger that they would be willing to part with.
Someone who is in the 8-10 sack a year average range.
