Trey Hendrickson remains with the Bengals, but another record-setting contract — for Myles Garrett — has affected the edge rusher market. With T.J. Watt and Micah Parsons in contract years, the cost of deploying an elite player on the edge is rising. That will interfere with the Bengals’ Hendrickson situation.

The Cincinnati Bengals have granted star DE Trey Hendrickson permission to seek a trade. That doesn’t mean they don’t want him there. If anything, whoever wants him will have to pay a steep price. The Bengals are reportedly asking for more than one first-round pick in return for his services.
