🔥 Hendrickson + Hutchinson = QB NIGHTMARES.
Why this potential trade would shake up the entire NFC

There’s fresh fuel to the fire for fans hoping the Detroit Lions make a run at Bengals star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson.

Hendrickson officially skipped Cincinnati’s mandatory minicamp, making it crystal clear he wants a new contract—or a ticket out of town. That move only intensifies the buzz around a possible trade, and Detroit’s name keeps popping up as a potential destination.

And why not? The Lions have had a rough offseason. They lost cornerback Carlton Davis in free agency, and longtime leader Frank Ragnow just shocked everyone by retiring. A move for Hendrickson could shift the energy back in their favor.

He’s not just another name. Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season and earned First-Team All-Pro honors. He’s a proven game-changer—and exactly the kind of addition that could take Detroit’s defense to another level.

The Lions didn’t use any premium picks in this year’s draft on edge rushers, so Aidan Hutchinson remains their lone elite threat off the edge. With high-powered NFC offenses like the Eagles, Rams, and Commanders looming, that’s just not enough.

Brad Holmes has already shown he’s not afraid to be aggressive with draft picks. If there’s ever a time to make another bold move, it’s now. Hendrickson wants out, Detroit needs help, and the window to win won’t stay open forever.
