Bengals Still Not Planning To Trade DE Trey Hendrickson

Last week, Russini mentioned that Hendrickson was still receiving trade interest, with the 49ers showing the most interest.

Russini added that the Bengals are not shopping Hendrickson.

The Colts, Eagles, and Cowboys have also come  up as potential landing spots for Hendrickson, but it seems less and less likely that he will be moved.

Hendrickson, 30, was selected with the No. 103 overall pick by the Saints out of Florida Atlantic in 2017. He finished his four-year rookie contract worth $3,106,288, which included a signing bonus of $706,284.

Hendrickson then signed a four-year, $60 million contract with the Bengals back in 2021 and went on to appear in the Super Bowl for the team. Cincinnati signed him to a one-year extension through 2025 in 2023. 

He was due a base salary of $15.8 million in the final year of his contract in 2025 when he and the team agreed to a $14 million raise to resolve a holdout. 

In 2025, Hendrickson has appeared in six games for the Bengals, recording 15 total tackles, four sacks, one forced fumble, and a pass deflection.

We’ll have more information on Hendrickson as it becomes available.
