Contract extension discussions have soured with the team stopping them altogether last week.<\/p>\n<p>This led to Hendrickson appearing in front of media, putting the franchise on blast for their handling of the situation. He made it clear that he would not play under his current contract.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Assuming neither side budges here, that leaves the parties with one of two options. Either Hendrickson continues his holdout and does not return to the team or the Bengals find a trade partner and say goodbye to the star pass rusher.<\/p>\n<p>There has not been really any change since last week but when analyzing a potential trade it is hard to imagine the Bengals not having a buyer interesting in adding a player who has 35 sacks over the last two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur found that idea agreeable for his team during an appearance on &#8220;Up &amp; Adams,&#8221; subtly suggesting the AFC North franchise seek out another &#8220;great player.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;SACK LEADERS ARE GREAT PLAYERS.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QH10M9WF0T\">https:\/\/t.co\/QH10M9WF0T<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kay Adams (@heykayadams) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/heykayadams\/status\/1924963184693411955?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 20, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<section><\/section>\n<p>\u201cHey, if it\u2019s up to me, we\u2019re never turning down great players.

The rub with him will be the extension as that is what he clearly wants above all.<\/p>\n<p>Four of the Packers&#8217; top-five cap hits for next season will come on the defensive side and those deals span over the next few seasons.
