CINCINNATI — It took all day, but the Bengals made a big splash on day one of the NFL's open negotiating period. 

Cincinnati has agreed to terms with Saints defensive end Trey Hendrickson. The Bengals are signing the 26-year-old to a four-year, $60 million contract according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Hendrickson will receive $32 million in the first two years of the deal. 

He will help replace Carl Lawson, who agreed to terms with the Jets on Monday night.

Hendrickson posted a career-high 13.5 sacks in 2020, finishing with 25 tackles (12 for loss) and 25 quarterback hits. The Browns and Vikings were also interested in the former Saints defensive end.
