The Cincinnati Bengals entered the 2025 NFL offseason aiming to secure three of their top players with long-term contracts: wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, plus pass rusher Trey Hendrickson .

The fact that the Bengals are reportedly listening to trade offers for Hendrickson is proof enough of that. The regular season is three weeks away. There's no time to waste. Hendrickson has been adamant that he won't play for the $16 million contract he currently has for this season.

At an impasse with the Bengals, the team is now listening to trade offers for the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher.
