Hendrickson, 26, had 13.5 sacks last season, tied for second-most in the NFL with the Rams’ Aaron Donald. The Steelers’ T.J. Watt led the league with 15.

The Bengals needed pass-rush help on the edge after losing one of their own players on Monday. Free agent Carl Lawson agreed to a three-year deal with the Jets.

The NFL’s legal tampering period between teams and free agents began Monday. Free agency begins officially on Wednesday.
