The Cincinnati Bengals have some interesting subplots developing around some of their ex-players as Week 9 rolls on, led by Trey Hendrickson and Jessie Bates.
Writer Matt Fitzgerald argues that former Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson is struggling in Baltimore following the Ravens' 33-10 Week 9 loss to the Jaguars. Hendrickson signed a four-year, $112 million deal with Baltimore but recorded zero pressures across 16 pass rush snaps during the Thursday night defeat.
Fitzgerald contends that Cincinnati made the right decision by moving on from Hendrickson to build their defensive front around Dexter Lawrence and Boye Mafe. The column also evaluates other former Bengals players, lamenting the past departure of Atlanta safety Jessie Bates while praising Indianapolis linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither.
