Bengals give permission to Trey Hendrickson to seek trade

He's on the last year of his contract, is 30 years old and they might get a better draft pick in trade than they would a comp pick. A team with cap space looking for a one year rental at DE will throw might go for it, but it shouldn't be us. The Bengals won't just cut him though. His contract is structured perfectly to let expire and get that comp pick next year if a team won't give them a 2nd or better. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Commanders or Lions go after him.
