NFL: Will Micah Parsons & Trey Hendrickson Get Paid?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the contracts of Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson.

Trey Hendrickson is in the final year of his contract, set to earn $15.8M, with no guaranteed money remaining. Despite leading the league with 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons, the Bengals have yet to agree on a long-term extension. The team has allowed him to seek a trade, but only if teams meet their steep asking price—rumored to be at least a first-round pick plus a $30M/year contract. 

Micah Parsons is playing under the fifth-year option ($24M for 2025) and has not yet signed an extension, despite being widely acknowledged as one of the best defensive players. He’s reportedly seeking a groundbreaking deal around $200M total, with an average annual salary exceeding $40–455, potentially surpassing the highest-paid non-QB mark. Will Micah get his money? What about Trey Hendrickson?
