More Bengals Blunders. Trey Hendrickson to have surgery.

[Offside Number 76]

Come on.  It's not the team's blunder and the guy is hurt.  Is this really what we're doing here?

[MikePJ76]

They got eliminated and now these guys have nothing no reason to play hurt. 
 

 

[Rochesterfan]

This is a huge nothing - he was holding out hope for. Potential playoff push and now they are done and he can get the surgery and be ready to be a FA this off season and get away.

 

The Bengals did nothing wrong - this is the team admitting they are done and trying to find players for the future.

[Draconator]

It read to me like the Bengals pushed him to play 2 weeks after the initial injury. With what happened with Tee Higgins yesterday, it's an honest mistake. 

[BlueRed]

I guess I’d be curious what his market will be in FA after a season like this - could he be our Bosa next year on a 1-year incentive deal?

 

I’d love to have Bosa back, but I think these 1 year prove it deals serve a good purpose (for both the player and the team)!

Agreed this is very common every season once a team drops out of it, players opt with surgery.

I said it in another thread that it’s hilarious and Hendrickson played this injury perfectly. 
 

Im going to hold out because I’m way underpaid and want an extension. Bengals refuse to extend him and give him like an 18 million dollar pay increase. Gets hurt all season and might be too old and injured for the Bengals , who are financially conscious, now to franchise him , so he’ll still be a Free Agent next year , healthy and get a good contract. 
 

I usually don’t advocate for this, but with Mike Brown being a cheap ass I’m okay I’m with it in this scenario

To all those that were clamoring for Beane to sign him no matter the cost -  in the famous words of Toby K. - how do you like me now ??

Actually a smart decision by the Bengals not to extend him. Opposite of a blunder.

To be fair we actually don’t know what would’ve happened in the alternate reality the bills signed him lol he can’t get hurt against gb if he doesn’t play gb

Yes, we have to be bold to get over the top and win the SB. Why don’t we get difference makers! Beane is asleep at the wheel and afraid to make moves! NOW is the time to go all in with Josh in his prime! 

 

Am I doing this right?

I think he'll have a market because he had 35 sacks the last 2 years prior to this one.  I don't know what that market is, but defensive linemen seem to be able to play well into their 30's if they can stay healthy.  I'd imagine less than he would have gotten last year, and likely only a 4 year deal with an out after 2.

You mean like the Rams getting bold and winning a Super Bowl?

 

Yeah, sign me up for that.

That part is smart. Not trading him was stupid. 

[TheFunPolice]

they don't really play defense anyway...

I like a lot.  Maybe Cap casualty.  Maybe a chance we can get Hendrickson at a injury discount.

 

Scratch that- how the heck is Cincy $71 Million under the cap in 2026?
