@CincybengoFan And not everything is doom and gloom. To pretend that's all I do is crazy.

@PooreJonathon You've got to have fast hands, intensity and play with leverage inside. Murphy struggles with those.

@ReplyKimg But that'll likely happen again. You'll drop some games you shouldn't. Just how it goes.

@ReplyKimg Gotta start fast

It is. It should be expected that this Bengals team is in the playoffs and makes a run.

@xjkrassow Why? Ossai has been the second best pass rusher

Things like this are so avoidable… si.com/nfl/bengals/al…

I wrote about Trey Hendrickson, the 2022 extension he never should have taken, the historical precedent of big late-summer trades for players in need of extensions, and the Bengals’ penchant for early September deals (Just pay him please) espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

This all makes sense for Trey because the Bengals wouldn't guarantee that second year money. So he got them to give him a raise and basically guarantee this year's salary. Signing the extensions they offered only gave him this year guaranteed anyway.

This will make some people mad, but the Bengals wasted so much cap space in 2025 that I can't even wrap my mind around it. In a year with prime Joe Burrow!? Other than that, they found a way to keep their stars on the roster for 2025.

My understanding is the #Bengals did not give Trey Hendrickson a no-tag clause in his new 1-year, $30M deal. That said, the numbers likely make it difficult for Cincinnati to use the franchise tag regardless. So Hendrickson is expected to be a FA in 2026.

And Trey Hendrickson's moment from Hard Knocks

Pressuring the QB 323 times and sacking them 67 times in four seasons. No matter how you split it up, it's impressive. Hendrickson had 4 sacks in the 2021 postseason Super Bowl run.

Driving into work this morning and the radio station goes "according to reports, the Bengals will attempt to pull off cap magic and extend Tee Higgins, Trey Hendrickson and Ja'Marr Chase this offseason" It's not magic. It's not crazy. It should be expected. They aren't paying anyone else. Please stop acting like they're attempting to land on the moon.
