DE Trey Hendrickson requests trade from Bengals; team says it won’t move him

Hendrickson currently has two years remaining on his current contract. He’s scheduled to make $14.8 million in 2024 and $15.8 million in 2025, but neither year has guaranteed money and both count more than $18 million against the Bengals’ cap.

So, Hendrickson looks to force Cincy’s hand for more security, either through a new deal or a trip to a new team.

If the Bengals traded him before June 1, it would result in $7.8 million in dead money, including $12.3 million in cap savings. A trade after June 1 would result in a $5.2 million cash loss, but would cap the savings at $15 million, according to Over the Cap.
