Bengals cutting ties with Trey Hendrickson suggested for replacement from entirely different sport

The Cincinnati Bengals won't be taking advice from the Cleveland Guardians broadcast crew anytime soon.

But if they were, they'd have the chance at the craziest Trey Hendrickson idea yet.

The Guardians of trio of Matt Underwood, Rick Manning and Andre Knott were in Cincinnati on Friday night as Cleveland took on the Reds.

And when Cincy reliever Tony Santillan entered the game, the idea started.

Santillan is listed at 6-foot-3, 285 pounds. That's certainly defensive end size.

Knott brought up the idea of Santillan replacing Hendrickson if the Bengals get rid of the superstar defensive end.

Santillan is from Texas, so he's definitely got some kind of familiarity with football.

He made his own case with some fancy footwork to field a groundball and get an out.

The announcers lingered on the idea for a minute or two, long enough to mention former 315-pound Reds reliever Jumbo Diaz, who was more nose tackle sized.

And then that was that, one of the weirdest crossover ideas in recent sports memory over just like that.
