Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson bade farewell to the city after he became a free agent.
The Bengals did not place the franchise tag on Hendrickson before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline, which means he will become a free agent when the new league year begins next week. The move ends a two-year-long drama of uncertainty in which Hendrickson sought a long-term deal, including trade talks, a holdout, and a pay raise last season.
