Cincinnati Bengals players Trey Hendrickson and Tee Higgins have both requested trades. Hendrickson, a three-time Pro Bowl defensive end, is seeking a trade due to a desire for more long-term security, as he is due to make $15 million this season and wants to be paid as a top rusher. Despite a recent contract extension that added $21 million in new money, his salary remains below market value. Higgins, a franchise wide receiver, has also asked to be traded, citing a lack of contract talks with the team for over a year. The Bengals, however, have expressed no interest in trading either player, aiming to retain their talent for a potential Super Bowl run.
I honestly thought Tee Higgins had requested a trade right after he got tagged. https://t.co/9ebhSLcF1L

The Bengals hold all leverage with Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson. They have made it clear they don’t want to trade good players. Here’s the catch tho, training camp holdouts aren’t good. Especially for a team that wants to avoid a slow start. How Zac Taylor manages this…

The #Bengals extended Hendrickson prior to last season, adding a $5M raise for 2023 and $16M for 2024. The $21M in new money was an attempt to ease Hendrickson’s concerns, though his contract is still far below market value considering his level of production. https://t.co/lx4484hiYt
