louder by the day.<br data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"474\" \/>For the second straight spring, the Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher is shaping up to be one of the most important names in NFL free agency

class=\"whitespace-normal\">Cincinnati Bengals<\/span><\/span><\/strong> feels closer than ever.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"1058\">Hendrickson\u2019s 2025 offseason was defined by a long, uncomfortable contract dispute that spilled into training camp before ending with a restructured one-year agreement to keep him in Cincinnati.<br data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"928\" \/>Fast-forward to 2026, and the relationship between the star pass rusher and the franchise appears to be nearing its final chapter.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1063\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1065\"

offseason preview, ESPN insider <strong data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1214\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Jeremy Fowler<\/span><\/span><\/strong> didn\u2019t hold back when discussing Hendrickson\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1462\">Fowler wrote that the Bengals using the franchise tag on Hendrickson would be \u201ca mild surprise,\u201d noting that all signs point toward the veteran making it to unrestricted free agency in March.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1731\">\n<p data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1731\">\u201cThe relationship has essentially run its course, and the tag will be well above $30 million,\u201d Fowler said.<br data-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1576\" \/>\u201cPerhaps they could swing a sign-and-trade, but losing him to free agency could equate to a third-round compensatory pick\u2026 if Cincinnati plays it right.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1733\" data-end=\"1830\">In other words, barring a drastic change, Hendrickson\u2019s time with the Bengals is nearing its end.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1832\" data-end=\"1835\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1837\" data-end=\"1913\"><strong data-start=\"1840\" data-end=\"1913\">Back-to-Back Dominant Seasons Put Hendrickson in Line for a Mega Deal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1915\" data-end=\"2035\">If Hendrickson does hit the open market, he\u2019ll do so as one of the most productive pass rushers of the last half-decade.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2037\" data-end=\"2195\">From 2023 to 2024, he racked up <strong data-start=\"2069\" data-end=\"2087\">35 total sacks<\/strong>, posting 17.5 in each season \u2014 an elite level of consistency that only a handful of NFL edge rushers reach.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2197\" data-end=\"2435\">His explosiveness, bend, and relentless motor make him a nightmare for offensive tackles, and he has repeatedly delivered in high-leverage moments.<br data-start=\"2344\" data-end=\"2347\" \/>That production put him in position for a massive payday, one Cincinnati never gave him.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2564\">He ultimately agreed to a restructured deal to stay for 2025, but nothing about the arrangement suggested a long-term marriage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2566\" data-end=\"2712\">Now, with his value at its peak and the cap number for a franchise tag ballooning past $30 million, the timing is right for both sides to move on.<\/p>\n<hr

Cowboys, Buccaneers and Colts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"3199\" data-end=\"3248\">For Dallas, the interest is obvious \u2014 and urgent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3250\"

most important positions on the defense.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3503\" data-end=\"3570\">If the Cowboys want to compete in 2026, they need a premier rusher.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3572\"

data-start=\"4332\" data-end=\"4381\">And most importantly: he doesn\u2019t require a trade.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4383\" data-end=\"4578\">Signing Hendrickson allows Dallas to use their 2026 draft capital on offensive reinforcements, secondary help, or depth pieces \u2014 instead of emptying picks to acquire a Parsons-level talent again.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4580\" data-end=\"4602\">But
