Sources: Raiders considered top landing spot for Bengals star Trey Hendrickson

Report: Raiders Emerging as Frontrunners to Trade for Trey Hendrickson(Getty Images) The Trey Hendrickson trade rumors just got a whole lot louder, and Raider Nation is at the center of it. According to sources, an NFL executive didn't hold back when asked about where the Cincinnati Bengals star pass rusher might land next. His answer? The Las Vegas Raiders. With Tom Brady, Mark Davis, and GM John Spytek pushing a full-throttle win-now mentality, Hendrickson-to-Vegas is suddenly the buzz that has NFL fans losing it online. NFL executive says the Raiders are the frontrunners to land Trey Hendrickson The quote making waves came straight from Hondo Carpenter, 'I have no doubt the Raiders are the frontrunners. Tom Brady and Mark Davis want to win now, and John (Spytek) has no fear when it comes to making bold moves. The kid (Hendrickson is 30), that move is the mentality of Pete Carroll, he's not afraid of anything that could improve the team.' That's a pretty strong endorsement of where the Raiders stand in these talks. While nothing is close to being finalized, it's clear Hendrickson's name is being tied more heavily to Vegas than anywhere else right now. This whole saga started because Hendrickson, despite being one of the NFL's best edge rushers, is frustrated with his contract. He wants more guaranteed money, and the Bengals haven't exactly rushed to fix the situation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Shaping Energy Transition at Siemens Energy Siemens Energy Read More Undo Reports suggest Cincinnati is holding firm on its price which could include a player plus a 2026 first-round pick. At 30, Hendrickson still has plenty left in the tank, and that's why teams are circling. Why the Raiders make perfect sense as a landing spot Pairing Hendrickson with Maxx Crosby? That's instant nightmare fuel for opposing quarterbacks. The Raiders already have cap space flexibility and a front office that's shown it isn't scared of bold moves. Add Tom Brady's influence in the building, plus Mark Davis' constant push for relevance, and this feels exactly like the type of blockbuster Vegas would pull off. While the Raiders have been labeled 'frontrunners,' they're not the only team with interest. The Colts, Jaguars, and Seahawks have all been linked to Hendrickson at different points in this drama. Any deal would come down to who's willing to match Cincinnati's asking price and not every team is ready to cough up first-round capital for a 30-year-old pass rusher, even one as dominant as Hendrickson.
