CINCINNATI \u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Cincinnati has a few contract decisions to make this offseason. One of the lesser-discussed options is extending Trey Hendrickson entering the final year of his deal.<\/p>\n

The 33rd\u00a0Team’s\u00a0Ari Meirov noted things could get heated without a new agreement.<\/p>\n

“I\u00a0would keep a\u00a0very, very\u00a0close eye on the Trey Hendrickson situation there in Cincinnati,”\u00a0Meirov noted on his podcast, NFL Spotlight With Ari Meirov.\u00a0“He was a guest over here a couple of weeks ago\u00a0on the show.\u00a0He led the league in sacks this year. He needs a new contract. He wanted one last year. They did not give it to him.<\/p>\n

“I’m\u00a0telling you right\u00a0now,\u00a0if they\u00a0don’t\u00a0address it here this offseason, that\u00a0is a situation that\u00a0could get very ugly. So the Bengals, listen,\u00a0Lou\u00a0Anarumo took the fall for the year, but part of the problem there was the fact that\u00a0they’ve\u00a0had a lot of\u00a0really good\u00a0players leave the building, and they have not paid those players what they are worth, and other teams have been glad to do it.”<\/p>\n

The NFL sack leader\u00a0just\u00a0posted 17.5 sacks for the second-straight season and is consistently maxing out prime years entering his 30s. Hendrickson is\u00a0Cincinnati’s\u00a0best defensive player and is the 11th-highest-paid defensive end in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Hendrickson’s\u00a0production is no fluke\u2014he also tied for the league lead in quarterback pressures with 83 total during the regular season.\u00a0It will be interesting to see\u00a0how Cincinnati approaches things with its best defensive player and a very durable one at that (72\/75 games played with the Bengals since arriving in 2021).<\/p>\n
