The host of "Up & Adams" took to X today and hinted at the possibility of Hendrickson being dealt to the defending Super Bowl-winning champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. An NFC franchise worth $8.3 billion according to Forbes.

Hendrickson and the Bengals have been at odds about a contract extension for some time now. He was granted permission to seek a trade partner this past March; however, he was unable to find one. After initial hold-in attempts, Hendrickson and the Bengals agreed to a restructuring of his contract, which increased his salary by $14 million.

The star defensive end led the NFL in sacks last season, racking up 17.5 en route to earning an Associated Press All-Pro Team selection. Hendrickson has been a bright spot on an otherwise disappointing Bengals team this year. After the loss of quarterback Joe Burrow to injury, Cincinnati has found itself with a record of 2-4.

After trading for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco last week, the Bengals suffered a defeat to the Green Bay Packers yesterday with a final score of 27-18. The game also saw Hendrickson go down with an injury, adding to the laundry list of unfortunate road bumps that have gotten in the franchise's way.

Minutes before halftime of the Bengals' game with the Packers, Hendrickson went into the locker room with a member of the team's training staff. He was initially listed as questionable to return before being officially listed as out late in the third quarter of the game with a back injury.

It remains to be seen how significant the injury is, and how long Hendrickson will be sidelined as a result. Before going down, Hendrickson was leading the Bengals with four sacks on the defensive line this season. He has also recorded 10 solo tackles and one forced fumble this year.

Now having lost their leaders on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, the Bengals have even more adversity to overcome in 2025. The team has already had issues being competitive without Burrow on offense. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact the potential loss of Hendrickson has on the team defensively moving forward.
