Could the Bears swing a trade for Trey Hendrickson?
- Defensive end Trey Hendrickson remains deadlocked with the Cincinnati Bengals in May 2025 over a new deal or a trade after joining the team in 2021.
- Hendrickson's dissatisfaction grew after the Bengals awarded substantial contract extensions in March to star wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, while he was left without a new deal.
- Despite leading the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season and totaling 57 sacks since 2021—third most in the league recently—no communication has occurred since the 2025 NFL Draft two weeks ago.
- Hendrickson expressed frustration that, instead of working together to facilitate his return to the team, communication from the Bengals has ceased, and he noted that no contract offers have aligned with the commitments made last offseason.
- With no progress on his trade request and the Bengals focusing on their receiving corps, Hendrickson could find a new team in 2025, though he might also remain with Cincinnati amid unclear outcomes.
