Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent DE Trey Hendrickson could be a tag-and-trade option. A franchise tag would cost an estimated $30.2 million, but a tag-and-trade situation would at least net the team a return of a third-round pick, which is considered better than letting him walk in free agency. The team is expected to make a decision on Hendrickson after talking with other teams at the NFL Scouting Combine this week.

Link to storyCincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught at least one touchdown in seven of his last nine games this season.
| Footballguys view: Higgins finished the year hauling in 59 receptions for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns. Despite missing two games because of two separate stints in the concussion protocol, he still set a career high in touchdowns and finished as WR17 in total fantasy points. It's not unreasonable to expect a healthier Higgins, working with a healthier Joe Burrow, to push closer to joining teammate Ja'Marr Smith in WR1 territory in 2026. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow is not expected to have trade offers involving him entertained by the Bengals but the team is willing to spend to build around him this offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: It never hurts for teams like Minnesota to ask, but with the Bengals committed to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, it makes no sense for them to deal Burrow. |

Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB Joe Flacco is a player that the Bengals are interested in re-signing this offseason, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: Joe Burrow is an incredible quarterback, but the Bengals need to be ready for him to miss time (again). That means a guy like Flacco could be an easy call as someone to keep around. Flacco can still play good football as a reserve option for teams in a playoff hunt (like the Bengals). We'll see what he decides to do when free agency opens up on March 11th. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught seven of his eight touchdowns at home during the 2025 regular season and also posted 926 of his 1,412 receiving yards during home games.
| Footballguys view: Chase is a superstar, and he can thrive in any stadium. He was able to make plays with either Joe Flacco or Joe Burrow at quarterback. Chase can do more if Burrow stays healthy for a full year. He's easily a consideration for the no1 wide receiver entering the 2026 season. |
