Could the Bears swing a trade for Trey Hendrickson?
- Trey Hendrickson, a defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals since 2021, has not reached a new contract agreement as of May 2025 amid trade discussions.
- The impasse comes after the Bengals agreed to major contract extensions with key receiving targets Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, while negotiations with Hendrickson have yet to progress following the 2025 NFL draft.
- Hendrickson stated that offers prior to the draft did not match the vision promised last offseason if he kept performing at a high level and said communication has ceased.
- Hendrickson has recorded 57 sacks since 2021, placing third in the league over four seasons, and led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season; Bengals executive Katie Blackburn said, "he's still a Bengal" and "we'll keep working through" the situation.
- The deadlock suggests Hendrickson could be traded or remain with the Bengals, reflecting ongoing tension as the team prioritizes securing its top receivers while his future remains uncertain.
