Original Title: Report Surfaces On Bengals’ Willingness to Franchise Tag Trey Hendrickson. The hostage situation may continue: The Bengals haven’t ruled out the possibility of franchise tagging pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, per @MikeGarafolo
According to Mike, Cinci could bring back Hendrickson for short term deal or possibly look to trade him with a combination of picks for another player. They have not ruled out bringing Hendrickson back. After previous mistakes with players such as Jessie bates, the bengals are being more cautious on what to do with expiring star players.
