Great news, keeping good players here a little longer

[THE PISTONS]

Somewhat surprised, but nice!

I just saw that and it’s great news. He has been one of the most important/impactful players on the team over the past couple of years.

I did not think he would get an extension but that’s a good deal for the Bengals to get him locked up for a couple more seasons.

I agree with sandwedge. I'm pleasantly surprised at this.

Poor Orlando Brown is going to have the whole team scrapping with him after this development.

Yep. Locked in for the next 3 seasons. Good to see the Bengals prioritizing talent at key positions; QB, OT, ED, CB.

Somewhat surprised also, given they drafted a potential replacement, but depth at DE is really critical. Hendrickson is terrific and gives his all, all the time, but it was hard to see him be totally gassed late in games. Having depth through 2025 is a great blessing.

Trey deserves it. Guy has given everything he has over the last 2 seasons. The numbers will be interesting to see it might give him some money up front but lower this cap hit.

[Housh]

I assume since we ahead him through 2024 that this deal is going to give him a SHITLOAD of money this year guaranteed so that his cap hits are manageable in 2024, and 2025.



Basically we probably said hey, do you mind taking more of your money now, so we can make Tee work?

I also wonder who pushed for the extra year. Maybe Trey pushed for it, to ensure he’s a Bengals longer. This is feeling like a sweetheart deal from Trey. I need to see the money

it seems odd he "blacked out"    hope that doesnt happen often during the season.

that makes sense

Nice surprise. Do we think he moved money from this year for a bigger upfront number for Joe or Tee?

I'm glad they get an extra year, he is sorely missed when taking off snaps and we aren't sure if Murphy will be that guy yet.

I doubt it. The whole team is going to be happy to have a left tackle who can go toe to toe with Trey.

Extending Hendrickson keeps the best pass rusher under contract through age 31. He'll become a free agent after 2025.

Prior to the extension he had the 15th highest AAV for edge rushers in the NFL, a great value.

The extension will very likely add cap flexibility.

No doubt.  My post was just a lame attempt at humor, as if fighting Brown meant a contract extension followed.

It also followed being unveiled as a top 100 player.  So I guess we are waiting for the league to do that before we can sign Joe.

Whoa. I'm a total Capology failure but still wasn't expecting this. Can't look at it in a vacuum, must mean something. Guess we'll find out soon enough. Either way, I like everything about Trey. And depth is a good thing. Great start to the extension parade. I've always loved the Hendrickson blimp.

"WHOA..."

[TecmoBengals]

Keeping Trey and the added cap flexibility is a win-win.

Weird move...

I assume the same thing.  A way of managing the salary cap I've wanted them to use for decades.  Just another indicator of new management.







Edited to add: Should also reduce dead money if they choose to release him later.
