If you don't want to assume the risk of having to pay someone more for playing only part on their contract, you risk really impacting your team's future for the next few years while trying to find a replacement.
And the Bengals have notoriously not been able to find good replacements for their key higher-priced, elite (ish) players in recent years like Bates, Reader, and now potentially Hendrickson. How many years did it take to finally get competent LT play after Whitworth left? 7 years?

I think the organization needs to have a win-now mentality now that they finally have a team that could/should be super bowl worthy and have the focus be on winning a super bowl within the next 2-3 years.
Losing Hendrickson potentially even starting this year and having to rely on the likes of Ossai, Murphy, and Stewart is only going to lower those chances, as none of those guys are really even half as good as Hendrickson.

That fine ro have your view , I also believe what many said in offseason the ability to sign on 3 to high $$ contracts was a low probability which is playing out, 2 out 3 seemed the way this was going especially with Tre under contract
