Trey Hendrickson's time with the Cincinnati Bengals came to an unceremonious end this week when the team decided to allow the star pass rusher to leave in free agency.
“To the Organization: Thank you for the opportunity to play the game I love at the highest level. The last 5 years have been filled with Great wins & Tough losses,” Hendrickson wrote in a statement after his release. “Personal achievements & humbling adversities. I was & always will be proud to have worn the Cincinnati Bengals logo and honor the history behind it."
While he had kind words for the organization publicly, he and the team engaged in contested contract talks for several years before he suffered through a down 2025 season where he missed 10 games.

Now free to choose his next team, ESPN's Adam Schefter suggested Hendrickson "would love" to play in Tampa.
“I think that he would love to be in Tampa,” Schefter said on the “Pardon My Take” podcast. “I think he would love to be in Tampa. He lives in Ponte Verde. I don’t think the Jaguars have the requisite cap room for him. “Tampa would be a great fit. I think in a perfect world, Trey would like to stay in Florida. No state income tax. But, he’s also open to going to the best possible situation. If Trey has a pick, I think he’d like to end up (with the Bucs), but we will see if it works out that way.”
The official start of NFL free agency is March 11 at 4 p.m. ET.
