Trey Hendrickson Update

[Luvnit2]

I keep reading Trey was cheated by the Bengals when he signed an extension after the 2022 season. Let's review the facts.

2022 Cincinnati Bengals 15 29 19 10 8 0 3
2021 Cincinnati Bengals 16 34 21 13 14 0 0
2020 New Orleans Saints 15 25 22 3 13.5 0 1
2019 New Orleans Saints 13 19 11 8 4.5 0 0
2018 New Orleans Saints 5 6 5 1 0 0 0
2017 New Orleans Saints 12 13 7 6 2 0 2
42 total 6 sacks in 6 NFL seasons and in 2022 had only 8 sacks and missed 2 games, He had never played a full season, missed total 25 games in those 6 seasons.

Bengals extended him anyway and made him at the time the 4th highest paid DE in the NFL in AVG per year at 21 million per year. Trey is a true DE, other like Watt are considered outside LB's.

So looking at Trey's production, was he treated unfairly by the FO when they did not have to, but did offer him an extension? He has injury history and did not have a great 2022 season, yet Bengals extended him ayway in good faith in my opinion.
