I am far from an OL guru like you and others, by many others and myself thought Price would be great. We all thought plug and play which happened, then he got hurt and never got better, actually digressed.

Yeah, we can all be wrong about players and how they adapt moving to the NFL. I wanted Ragnow, but thought Price was a fine pick to fall 
back on. Happens. James Pearce seems to have coachability concerns so I can understand us passing on him. Emmanwori is seeming more 
and more like the pick to me. The only question is if he can play FS and how Battle and him would fit as a starting duo IMO.

You weren’t the only.  If my memory serves, there were quite a few draft sites that had him rated right around where the bengals took him.  I have a particularly negative Nancy type friend who was ready to call him a bust several times during his rookie year.  I told him we can’t make that call at least until his second season, after he recovered from the pec injury and got some experience.

Sadly he was right on that one all along.  Damn ketchup bottles

If Hendrickson is traded, it needs to happen soon.  The Bengals need to trade Hendrickson before the draft so they can use the draft pick to get his replacement.   Also, as soon a Hendrickson is traded, Im on the phone to Za'darius Smith's agent to get him signed.  This way you have at least one proven pass rusher on the roster and dont need to rely so heavily on a rookie.

You weren't the only one brother....That's what I thought too.

I wanted Ragnow too but Detroit snagged him right before us. I was happy to get Billy Price after that because he was good at Ohio State and he was also a projected 1st round pick right after Ragnow. The only thing I didn't like about Price was his short arms, that's why I wanted Ragnow over him. Shame he was a bust.

Yep, had the exact same thoughts at the time. It is a shame, I liked Billy too off the field, just wasn't meant to be a pro...

You would of never guessed this watching Billy Price with the Buckeyes. Short arms weren't his only problem, he had lots of them in the NFL.

There is some buzz New England might be trading for Micah Parsons.  If that is true, New England is probably off the board for a Hendrickson trade.  Hendrickson's options look more and more limited.

What is the source of this buzz?

I will say it again, Bengals do not want to trade Trey so everyone can rest easy, the only way they trade him is for a 1st round pick in 2025 and more. If a team wants to overpay is the only way the Bengals trade him. Bengals are in win now mode. I know many fans don't agree, but they trade Trey for nothing a real mutiny occurs.

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

Yeah, Trey won't be traded. He will be back, just wonder what the details will be. Still wondering if the offer the Bengals gave Trey is still
on the table and if Trey could just sign it and be back here for a couple of years making twice what he was and looking for that SB win.

Obviously if you trade Hendrickson you only do it if the compensation is right.  We need at minimum a 1st + 3rd or 4th.  You dont let him go for some of these ridiculous proposals like a 3rd round pick.  Hendrickson's agent told the Bengals he could get the Bengals what they wanted.  Its up to Trey and his agent.

He's not getting traded.

I don't think so either. I think they restructure this year and add an additional year keeping Hendrickson here through the '26 season. If Trey and his agent are asking for a longer deal then things could go sideways. Regardless he's signed for this upcoming season and I guess if the FO wanted to, they could tag him next year. The Bengals are in the drivers seat when it comes to Hendrickson. I just hope they come to an agreement before camp starts in July.

Just saw an article stating he plays for Cincy in 25 or doesn’t play at all, and the team is set on getting a deal done.

That's not any sort of "news", that's just another hypothetical 'proposal' like the one I posted about earlier.

Yep. We can kick dirt on this thread. Happily.

This can go all the way up to day 1 of the draft. Once GM’s of playoff teams get a good read on whose eyeing who and realize sending their first to CINCI for Trey is the best player they can get. Especially if they believe they are a pass rusher away.

Bengals are playing this perfectly spooking those who think they’ll cave for an 3rd eventually into believe there’s a chance they’ll extend him and they’ll lose out.

No. A trade was never likely and is now off the table. No games or smokescreens. No Trey trade.

[jj22]

I’d definitely bet no trade but theoretically it’s still too early to just take it off the table. There’s no reason for them to right now.

Not until they have a deal.

I think Bengals have been candid. I think other teams hoped Bengals would cave, but not going to happen.

It is like playing texas holdem when a player makes a huge raise pre-flop, look down at you have ace/ace so you just call. Then flop comes and the guy bluffing pre-flop throws all his chips in the pot on the ace, 9, 6  flop and the dude is drawing dead.

Bengals hold the cards, not another team or Trey. Bengals are not over playing their hand, they have no intent on trading Trey.
