For a team that did not draw their head coach, the Bengals of Cincinnati were quite busy this offseason.
As for coaches, they went from several key members of the staff, including the defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and the trainer of the offensive line Frank Pollack, which they replaced by Al Golden and Scott Peters, respectively.
They saw Akeem Davis-Gonnher, Khalil Herbert, Jay Tufele, Alex Cappa, Sheldon Rankins and Trent Brown sign with other teams and brought Samaje Perine, Lucas Patrick, Oren Burkes, Joe Giles-Harris and Tedarrell Slaton through the free agency.
Cincinnati has also locked the wide receptors Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on four -year -old agreements that will maintain their attack as one of the most explosive in the league.
However, things have not worked well with the defensive winger Trey Hendrickson, who is also looking for a new contract. In fact, the Bengals have given Hendrickson the authorization to seek a profession, and although there will certainly be many teams interested in adding the talented rusher on board, Andrew Buller-Russ of Sportsnaut identified Green Bay Packers as one of the best landing spots.
Hendrickson, 30, has been a key element in the defense of Cincinnati since he joined the team on a contract of $ 60 million over four years in 2021. In the last four seasons, he recorded 155 plated (53 for a loss), 112 quarter kicks, 57 bags, 12 defended passes and 11 fumaires forced in 65 games.

Since 2020, only comrades North Edge North Edge TJ Watt (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Myles Garrett (Cleveland Browns) have more bags than Hendrickson.
The packers finished their 2024 12th campaign in the NFL in percentage of bags, because they lowered the opposing quarters out of 7.42% of their drops. While Green Bay has not lost much in his defensive front this offseason, the addition of a player like Hendrickson to the defense of Jeff Hafley could make the team pass to the next level.
Hendrickson would probably be the superior rusher in the locker rooms of the packers, but he could also make things much easier for guys like Rashan Gary and Devonte Wyatt, who finished last season with seven and five bags, respectively.
