The Bengals told Trey Hendrickson on Thursday that he could seek a trade. The All-Pro edge rusher’s camp will test the market to see what teams are willing to pay the 2024 runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year. His league-leading 17.5 sacks last year and 35 sacks over the past two seasons will entice every team looking to add juice to its pass rush. It will cost, though. Hendrickson, who turned 30 in December, is in the final year of his contract and currently owed $16 million. He’s seeking an extension closer to the top of the edge rusher market, like the Raiders’ Maxx Crosby, who reset that number this week with a three-year, $106 million extension with $91.5 million guaranteed.
