The trade market for Trey Hendrickson is huge for the Cincinnati Bengals as the NFL free agency tampering window opens. That doesn't mean a deal will happen, of course. But if the Bengals get a high-end offer for the defensive end who wants a new contract, the front office might just entertain the idea.

Had the Bengals dished Ford a big contract, it might've signaled they would hand him a starting guard job and call it a day at the position. Instead, he'll be the bar a free agent or draft pick must surpass and otherwise be one of the NFL's best, versatile depth pieces on a high-value, affordable contract.
