Lions Still in the Hunt for Trey Hendrickson? NFL Insider Says It’s Possible
The Detroit Lions have made some solid moves in free agency, but they still have a glaring need at edge rusher opposite Aidan Hutchinson. While Marcus Davenport is currently penciled in as the starter, that might not be the long-term solution for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
NFL insider Albert Breer believes Detroit could still pursue a trade for Cincinnati Bengals star Trey Hendrickson. The Bengals reportedly want at least a second-round pick for the four-time Pro Bowler, and he’s seeking a contract worth over $30 million per year. While that price is steep, the Lions have most of their core locked in through 2026, making a big swing more feasible.
The biggest hurdle? Financial flexibility. Detroit still needs to extend Hutchinson and Kerby Joseph, which could make a Hendrickson deal tricky. But if the Lions view him as the missing piece, giving up a second-rounder could be worth it. Whether Brad Holmes pulls the trigger remains to be seen.
