The Cincinnati Bengals are once again handling a contract discussion poorly. This time, it's with the 2024 NFL sack leader.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Trey Hendrickson are at odds over a contract extension, with the Chicago Bears being a potential suitor, but the financial hurdles to make the trade work are significant.

The Lions are viewed as a team that has a need at the defensive end position, and Hendrickson was a First Team All-Pro last year after recording 17.5 sacks. Detroit already has one of the game's best young players at the position in Aidan Hutchinson, and the proposition of adding another would give them one of the league's best pass-rush duos.

Trey Hendrickson addressed the status of his contract situation with the Cincinnati Bengals at practice outside Paycor Stadium.
