If Cincinnati Bengals upper management won't listen to fans, their own players, or anyone else when it comes to giving Trey Hendrickson a contract extension, perhaps a former teammate of Trey's will do the trick.
There's no question the Bengals have gotten better about shelling out big money to retain key players. Letting an elite safety like Jessie Bates walk in free agency will do that to an organization. Cincinnati bucked conventional wisdom by rewarding its dynamic duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins with new deals back in March.
However, if the Bengals are expected to return to the postseason this year, the defense must improve in pretty drastic fashion.
