Proposed Trade Could Bring Sack Leader Trey Hendrickson to Detroit
The Detroit Lions could be looking at a major boost for their pass rush, as Cincinnati Bengals star Trey Hendrickson is reportedly on the trade market. Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season, making him one of the most dominant edge rushers available. If the Lions make a move, they’d be pairing him with Aidan Hutchinson, forming a duo that could be among the best in the league.
A potential trade package could see Detroit sending second-round picks in 2025 and 2026 to the Bengals in exchange for Hendrickson and a 2026 third-rounder. However, acquiring him would also mean negotiating a contract extension, with estimates suggesting he could command $30 million per year. The Lions must weigh whether the cost—both in draft capital and salary cap space—is worth the immediate impact Hendrickson could bring to their Super Bowl ambitions.
