So we know that the Bengals have a lot of guys to pay.
00:03
They've already paid Burrow, they've already said they're going to make Chase the highest
00:07
paid non-quarterback in the league, they've tagged Higgins and they want to bring him
00:11
back allegedly.
00:13
As you know, Scotty, Trey Hendrickson, their only guy on defense that needs some money
00:18
and who kills the quarterback, they have granted him permission today to go and seek a trade.
00:25
Hendrickson said, quote, it's been an honor and a privilege to represent Cincinnati over
00:29
the last four years.
00:30
I love this city and organization.
00:32
I appreciate the privilege of now being allowed to explore my options.
00:37
He's had 35 sacks the last two years, finished second this year for the defensive player
00:42
of the year.
00:44
That is significant because like we've said this for months, how are they going to pay
00:48
all of them?
00:49
And it looks like they're going to let Hendrickson.
00:51
That's the guy that the Bills should go get, not Miles Garrett, go get him because he's
00:56
a monster and this is a huge mistake by them.
00:59
Once again, their cheap ass owner, he's going to, what they're going to do is they're going
01:03
to pay chase and apparently they're going to give Higgins a deal.
01:06
They've turned down multiple trade offers for Higgins and they're going to leave their
01:09
defense without any pants on.
01:12
Remember, their defense was awful last year and that was with Hendrickson out there getting
01:18
after the quarterback.
01:21
That's just a, like you say, a puzzling decision.
01:25
I would have traded Higgins before I'd trade him.
01:28
Yeah, he'd like to keep a good piece on defense.
01:31
We'll see what happens.
01:33
You never know.
01:34
Sometimes things change.
01:35
If they're going to let him look.
01:36
He was their entire defense.
01:38
Yep.
01:39
And if they're going to let him go out there and look, chances are he's going to find someone
01:43
who's going to give him some big money.
01:44
He'll find a job by tonight.
