Lions' moment to trade for Trey Hendrickson has arrived
Lions' moment to trade for Trey Hendrickson has arrived originally appeared on The Sporting News The Detroit Lions have been at the center of the speculation all offseason, not really by their own choosing. But everyone looks at the Super Bowl contender, sees they might be a pass-rusher short and connects that to disgruntled Cincinnati Bengals superstar Trey Hendrickson. And now, if the Lions really would have any interest in Hendrickson, they have to pursue it. The Bengals might actually trade Hendrickson after all. He's made it clear that he won't play for the $16 million he's due to make in 2025, and so a trade might be the resolution to the conflict if a new deal isn't reached. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "the Bengals are listening to trade offers" for Hendrickson.

"But time will tell." Hendrickson is one of the best defensive players in the NFL. He has 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons. The Lions have Aidan Hutchinson coming at quarterbacks from one side of the defense. It'd certainly look quite imposing to have Hendrickson flying in from the other side.

The Bengals' phones will surely be busy, and whatever team acquires Hendrickson will then likely be looking at giving him the big contract he feels he deserves. But the Lions have been everyone's favorite Hendrickson landing spot for a long time. If Detroit really wants in, now's the time to make it happen.
