This is not the kind of news the Cincinnati Bengals wanted to see entering the 2024 NFL Draft.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, standout defensive end Trey Hendrickson has requested a trade. Hendrickson is reportedly upset with his current contract and hopes to earn a long-term deal.
Set to play in his eighth NFL season in 2024, Hendrickson has become one of the league’s best pass-rushers, racking up 53 sacks over the past four seasons. He’s set to turn 30 in December, so it’s easy to see why Hendrickson is eager to get what’s probably going to be his last massive payday before heading into the twilight of his career.
