Bengals to Hold Talks About Trade for Trey Hendrickson

• The Bengals will hold talks about a trade for Trey Hendrickson.
• Hendrickson will not participate in training due to the absence of a new contract.
• The team is looking for options in the draft regarding a potential trade for the defensive end.

The Bengals are actively discussing the possibility of trading for defensive end Trey Hendrickson. According to sources, this process has been ongoing for several weeks. Hendrickson, who is 30 years old, has been present at the team’s training sessions but is not participating in them due to the pending new contract. His current contract has one year remaining at a total of $16 million.

The Bengals are looking for options to acquire picks in the draft and defensive players in trade for Hendrickson. Many teams are interested in his services, but there are concerns regarding potential financial difficulties related to the signing of a deal during this late period of preparation for the season.

Previously, Hendrickson had received permission from the Bengals to seek a new deal, and his desire to sign a contract has remained unanswered. He missed part of training but later returned, clarifying that this does not indicate progress in negotiations.

In the previous season, Hendrickson was a league leader in several sacks, achieving 17.5 sacks, and was recognized as a first-team All-Pro player. His contribution to the team’s performance makes him an important figure for the Bengals and a potentially valuable asset for other clubs.
