The possibility of the Detroit Lions acquiring Trey Hendrickson is still alive, according to an insider. The Cincinnati Bengals granted Hendrickson permission to seek a trade, and the Lions are among the teams interested in his services. Hendrickson’s impressive track record, with 17.5 sacks in the 2024 season, makes him an attractive asset for any team looking to bolster their defense.
The Lions, in particular, could benefit from his skills, especially considering their injuries and the need for a strong pass-rush duo alongside Aidan Hutchinson. While the Bengals’ initial asking price was reportedly a first-round pick, which some teams have deemed “ridiculous,” there’s still a chance for negotiations to unfold.
A more realistic offer might involve a second-round pick, considering Hendrickson’s age and contract demands. Ultimately, the decision to pursue Hendrickson will depend on the Lions’ willingness to meet the Bengals’ demands and Hendrickson’s contract expectations. However, the possibility of acquiring him is still on the table, and Lions fans will be eagerly watching developments.
