Trey Hendrickson, the Bengals’ standout pass-rusher, has requested a trade, according to his agent Harold Lewis. Lewis shared that Hendrickson aspires for a long-term contract offer. Should the Bengals decline to provide one, Hendrickson has not ruled out retirement as a potential course of action. The Bengals, on the other hand, have no intention of trading Hendrickson, as reported by The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. The team views Hendrickson as indispensable to their Super Bowl ambitions. Hendrickson’s request stems from his belief that he has outperformed his current contract after recording 17.5 sacks last season. The Bengals now face the challenge of addressing Hendrickson’s concerns while maintaining a strong team for the upcoming season.
