Hendrickson, Higgins, and Chase

[DanBengalfan]

Multiple reports coming out that the Bengals are no longer open to trading Hendrickson. They are working to extend and pay him. Would really open up the draft if they were able to do so.

above are my sources on the matter.

Would be shocked if he lasts until the 3rd round. I would have no issues taking this guy in round 2, if they don't make a move/take an OL in round 1.

He scored a 9.96 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 8 out of 1720 OG from 1987 to 2025.

It appears the Bengals are done with FA for now, and guard is not on their radar at this current time.

Well, there's no one left and those who are haven't signed are likely waiting to see what team needs are there after the draft...just like teams are now waiting to see what they can get.

I think this tells you that the Bengals will absolutely be targeting at least 1 IOL in the first 3 rounds. If they can get Trey across the finish line (or positive direction) then I could see them looking to double up at this position as well.

there's probably someone out there that will be a backup and isn't very good, but the bengals will pretend he's good for awhile.

Scherff is still out there, and I think he could start and be at least decent. As I said, though, at this point I think it's better for those guys to wait until after the draft - they'll see what's available, or when an injury hits early in camp. They'll have more leverage at that point. At this point, they have little leverage with the draft and camps still in front of teams.

I guess part of that is also what is Scherff is asking for. He made 16.5 million last year. I doubt the Bengals were even offering 10 million more less anything over.
