Another Hendrickson contract projection has rolled in, this time with Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport predicting a three-year extension worth $103.5 million: “If the Bengals have legitimate aspirations of a deep playoff run, they need to figure out a way to get a deal done with Hendrickson. But with each passing week, that appears less likely.”

It makes sense that a superstar pass rusher like Hendrickson would want to be paid what he's worth, which is likely more than double the $16 million he's due to earn in 2025. It's the locker room around him.
