Bengals rumors: Insider reveals ideal Trey Hendrickson trade package
The post Bengals rumors: Insider reveals ideal Trey Hendrickson trade package appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Cincinnati Bengals are in a tricky situation with edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. Cincinnati has yet to give Hendrickson the extension he has demanded all offseason. Now trade rumors continue to spread about Hendrickson as the offseason progresses into mandatory OTAs. Advertisement ESPN's Ben Baby explained what he believes would be an ideal trade package for Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson in a recent article. 'The Bengals granted Hendrickson permission to seek a trade in March, but no team has offered the desired compensation,' Baby wrote. 'Cincinnati has the cap space ($24.7 million, per Roster Management System) to work out a new deal with him, so there is a path that keeps Hendrickson with the Bengals. But a trade package that features a potential multiyear starter and one or two top-100 draft picks could help the Bengals better maximize their championship window with quarterback Joe Burrow.' If this is close to what the Bengals want for Hendrickson, it is easy to understand why a trade has not happened yet. Hendrickson is, without question, an elite NFL edge rusher. After all, he is coming off back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons. That said, Hendrickson will also be incredibly expensive for a new team to sign. Advertisement According to Spotrac, Hendrickson has a market value of $31.5 million per season. He could easily demand more than that because of his leverage in this trade situation. If the Bengals do not extend or trade Hendrickson, he seems determined to sit out the 2025 NFL season. ESPN presents four hypothetical Trey Hendrickson trades that Bengals should consider © Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The same ESPN article featured a handful of hypothetical trade offers for Hendrickson from ESPN analysts. In this exercise, the Bengals received offers from the Colts, Bills, Lions, and Commanders for Hendrickson. Interestingly enough, none of these offers satisfied the conditions that Baby laid out as the ideal trade package. Advertisement Ben Solak's offer from the Lions looked like the best of the bunch. He proposed that Detroit offer a 2026 second-round pick and 2027 fourth-round pick for Hendrickson. It is important to note that the 2027 pick could escalate to a third-round pick based on Hendrickson's performance. Even this offer only satisfies two of Baby's criteria for Hendrickson. If Hendrickson is indeed traded, it would likely happen much closer to NFL training camp. Bengals fans are hopeful that the team will meet Hendrickson's demands well before then.

Incredible detail from ESPN shows massive uptick in salary for Brock Purdy on new contract
Incredible detail from ESPN shows massive uptick in salary for Brock Purdy on new contract Quarterback Brock Purdy on Friday agreed to a contract extension that made him one of the NFL's 10 highest paid QBs. He also received a massive raise over his paltry (by NFL QB standards) rookie contract. It's easy to look at the sums and notice the substantial difference in the two deals. Purdy's four-year rookie contract as the final pick in the 2022 NFL draft was worth a total of $3,737,012. His new extension is worth up to $265 million. ESPN's Nick Wagoner broke it down even further to highlight just how substantial that raise is. Via ESPN: He earned $2.6 million total over his first three NFL seasons, making him the NFL's 76th-highest-paid quarterback over that span, according to Roster Management System. His new contract has an average salary of $53 million, meaning he will get paid more per week under his new deal ($2.9 million) than he did over the first three years of his career combined. Purdy earned just $705,000 as a rookie. That number jumped to $870,000 in Year 2 when he took the 49ers to the Super Bowl. Last season he earned $985,000 according to Over the Cap. Going from the final pick in the draft to the starting quarterback for the 49ers was always going to be an incredible story for Purdy. Now that he's gotten an extension that will earn him more per week than he made in his first three seasons, he has the compensation to match his unlikely ascension.

5 winners/losers after Brock Purdy agrees to massive five-year, $265 million deal with San Francisco 49ers
After dealing with contract drama over the last several years with stars like Nick Bosa, Brandon Aiyuk, Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel, the San Francisco 49ers avoided similar issues with franchise quarterback Brock Purdy. San Francisco signed Purdy to a five-year, $265 million contract, keeping him in the Bay through 2030. Purdy now earns more annually than quarterback luminaries Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert. Here's a look at the winners and losers from the deal. Winner: Brock Purdy Credit: Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images Purdy transformed from Mr. Irrelevant in the 2022 NFL Draft to the seventh-highest-paid quarterback in the game. His $265 million deal includes $181 million guaranteed, averaging $53 million per year. Despite the 49ers' offense being hampered by injuries in 2024, Purdy ranked third in pass yards per attempt (8.5), seventh in QBR (68.0) and 10th in passing yards (3,864). Advertisement 'He earned $2.6 million total over his first three NFL seasons, making him the NFL's 76th-highest paid QB over that span (2022-24), according to Roster Management System,' reports ESPN's Nick Wagoner. 'His new contract has an average salary of $53 million, meaning he will get paid more per week under his new deal ($2.9 million) than he did over the first three years of his career combined.' Winner: Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch Credit: Stan Szeto-Imagn Images General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan now have their franchise quarterback secured for the next several seasons. After an injury-riddled 6-11 season, the 49ers can rebuild around Purdy to return to their previous success when they reached the NFC Championship game three straight seasons, including a Super Bowl appearance. Loser: NFC West Credit: Joseph Rondone/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The 49ers have their 25-year-old quarterback under contract for the next five seasons, while their division rivals face QB uncertainties. Will Sam Darnold be the answer in Seattle? How much longer will the aging Matthew Stafford remain under center in Los Angeles? Will the Arizona Cardinals stick with Kyler Murray if they miss the playoffs for the sixth time in his seven seasons? Losers: Jerry Jones Credit: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Purdy's contract looks like a bargain compared to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' situation with Dak Prescott. Jones delayed getting a deal done with Prescott and paid for it — ultimately giving him a four-year, $240 million extension with $231 million guaranteed. By waiting, Jones watched Prescott become the highest-paid QB in the league, averaging $60 million a year. Winner: Brock Purdy's 49ers teammates Credit: Kyle Terada-Imagn Images With Purdy remaining in San Francisco long-term, his 49ers teammates can breathe a sigh of relief. They've spoken highly of Purdy since he became the starter in 2022, believing he was the right person to lead them. Now, their quarterback will be under center through 2030.

ESPN suggests Saints may need to change their approach to the 2025 NFL draft
The New Orleans Saints have a long, long list of needs heading into the offseason and do not have the luxury of targeting one specific part of the roster. When looking across the top 10 picks of the 2025 NFL draft, ESPN's Katherine Terrell suggested the team just worry about taking the best player available in the first round. This is part of what Terrell had to say about her reasoning: At $70.6 million over the cap in 2025 (per Roster Management System), the Saints are likely going to have to draft for need. But their biggest need is open to interpretation. They are looking for successors at defensive end and linebacker for 35-year-olds Cameron Jordan and Demario Davis, respectively. They also could use another wide receiver to slot alongside Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, as well as permanent fixes to the offensive line. As alluded to, that really doesn't narrow much down. Rather than worrying about ranking those needs, the decision certainly should just revolve around who is on the board when they come up to pick. Perhaps the Saints can consider what the bigger need is if they have two players of similar skill levels on the board at the same time. For example, there is a world where Georgia Bulldogs safety Malaki Starks and Tennessee Volunteers defensive end James Pearce Jr. are on the board at nine. Both are extremely talented and impactful adds. Defensive end is bit bigger of an immediate need than safety, so that might influence their decision. Mickey Loomis could also just throw all caution to the wind and go with a full best player approach and take Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty above both of them. Either way, New Orleans just desperately needs to add talent to their roster this offseason.
