CINCINNATI — Trey Hendrickson's already drawing trade interest from an NFC finalist last season. FOX Sports's Jordan Schultz reported that the Washington Commanders are vying to strike a bargain to secure the Bengals star edge rusher along with other teams.
Hendrickson is coming off the best season in his career with a league-leading 17.5 sacks. He was set to make just $16 million in his final season with the Bengals, but is reportedly seeking a new extension worth $32-33 million per year.
Cincinnati has pulled off some strong trades in recent years and the vaunted 30-year-old edge talent should have a solid market with his durability/production combination (730-plus snaps each of the past four seasons).
