Bengals Let Star DE Hendrickson Hit Free Agency

The Cincinnati Bengals have decided not to place the franchise tag on star defensive end Trey Hendrickson, officially making him an unrestricted free agent.

Hendrickson, a former All-Pro, missed half the 2025 season due to injury but remains a top target in free agency.

The Bengals declined to extend him last year and are prepared to move on after five seasons with the team.
