As expected, now that Hendrickson's agent has found proof that teams will at least pay Hendrickson the contract but won't meet the Bengals' asking price, it's hard to say what happens next. The Bengals granted permission to seek the trade and now have to either pay up on the price the market agrees on, or dig in for more summer drama.

Hendrickson has been granted permission to seek a trade by the Cincinnati Bengals, but that doesn't mean he wants to leave. Hill says he knows Hendrickson's preference is to remain in Cincinnati.
