Commanders Trade For Trey Hendrickson Pitched By ESPN
Commanders Trade For Trey Hendrickson Pitched By ESPN originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It has been an expensive offseason for the Cincinnati Bengals, with much to celebrate there. And it's been an expensive one for the Washington Commanders, too. Advertisement Who wants to spend next? In Cincy, the team broke the piggy back to keep happy their star wide receiver tandem of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, resulting in a cost of over $275 million between the two contract extensions. But left in the dust - so far, anyway - is one more star And if the Bengals can't figure out how to also keep happy their biggest defensive star, defensive end Trey Hendrickson? Maybe that's that's where the Commanders can swoop in. Hendrickson has asked for a contract extension since the start of the offseason. He is currently slated for an over $18 million cap hit in the final year of his deal. ... and there is market-based logic now that makes it clear he can ask for $30 mil per year or maybe even more. Advertisement He was initially encouraged to seek out a trade. That didn't work. He's been involved in extension talks. That hasn't worked, either. So now comes a major turn: Teams have called; we bet that group includes Washington and GM Adam Peters. The Bengals have been steadfast in stating that they want first-round value for the veteran if they do deal him. As Hendrickson grows more angry and claims the Bengals have lied to him? That's not happening. And another twist: ESPN is suggesting a trade that would cost Washington nothing more than two Day 3 picks and young D-lineman Jer'Zhan Newton. Really? That's it? Advertisement Maybe Cincy management folds and pays the guy who gets a rather amazing 17.5 sacks per year. Or maybe it means management demonstrates a willingness to accept less than a premium pick package. Washington is shy on picks; it can only offer so much as a result of the Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel trades. But Washington isn't shy about being aggressive in talent grabs. And to ESPN? Hendrickson is "grabbable.''

Should the Chargers try to trade for Trey Hendrickson?
Should the Chargers try to trade for Trey Hendrickson? | Football 301 Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice, Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald look at trades they want to see including the Bengals' star pass rusher joining Khalil Mack on the L.A. defense. Hear the full conversation on 'Football 301' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript Matt, start us off. Advertisement What's the one trade you want to see by the time training camp rolls around? I want to see Trey Hendrickson get traded because I don't think he is going to get paid by the Cincinnati Bengals. So I'd like to see him get traded and, uh, of course, I, he's got to go to a contender. This probably wouldn't happen because it's within the same conference, but I'd like to see him get traded to the Los Angeles Chargers because they're sitting on just over $26 million in cap space right now. So they've got enough to fit the first year of a big pass rusher contract extension. The Chargers had a lot. lot of needs coming into the offseason and they do have some questions along the interior offensive line. Advertisement That's still outstanding. But the other big need that I don't think they really satisfied this year was getting more juice, uh, in terms of their pass rush. They brought back Kul Mack. That's nice. He's had, he had a pretty good season for them last year, but they did wave goodbye to Joey Bosa, and I don't think they have someone just waiting in the wings there that can fill that. So, um, I do think that's a trade I'd like to see whether it's gonna happen or not. Uh, I don't say I have like all the little compensation notes for you, but I'd love to see that one get done. Hendrickson and Khalil Mack is like perfect as far as like synergizing two edge players. Advertisement Khalil Mack is just, I mean, just a badass on rundown. It's really good against the run, still a good sack guy. You have the passer, but then you get a guy that's a true more finesse guy, and Hendrickson that you have to passer. That's the perfect little pairing. So I, I really like this one. I'm not. Um, really wasn't even came to mind maybe for Hendrickson. I've, I've been kind of just see kicking around some of the teams that have cap space, but Charles, any thoughts on this one? Yeah, it makes it makes a lot of sense, um. It's just, it's just, uh, it's probably because the Chargers like you're in a spot where you, you probably need a lot of help if you're actually going to go out there and compete for the AFC title, but your quarterback is so good that it's going to be difficult to add, uh, the help that you need. Advertisement So I think getting someone that uh that already has NFL pedigree, like Trey Hendrickson, he's only 30, so you can still get a couple more years out of him maybe before he hits the wall. I think this makes makes a lot of good sense to add him to the roster.
