Yes, but a career-ending injury can happen at any age to any player.


I'm sure the Bengals are more worried about basically paying more guarantees and what happens if the older player decides to retire for whatever reason.
But maybe just give 2 years of extension guaranteed, as supposedly they are only offering 1 year and Hendrickson wants more than that.
And if we're being perfectly honest, Hendrickson has hit way above his pay rate while being a Bengal, so rewarding him with some more guaranteed even if he ends up getting an injury or retiring midway through is just kind of like rewarding him for that above-pay performance for the previous few years.

At the end of the day, if the Bengals are constantly going to be afraid of a player getting injured or retiring and that essentially meaning they could get paid for some year(s) not playing, it's going to impact their ability to sign certain impactful players.
