Bengals May Use Franchise Tag on Trey Hendrickson

The Bengals are considering using the franchise tag on Hendrickson this offseason, per reports. The projected tag would exceed $30M and keep Cincinnati’s options open, including a long-term deal or a potential tag-and-trade. Hendrickson missed significant time in 2025 but posted 35 sacks combined across 2023 and 2024, keeping him central to the team’s offseason plans.
