The Cincinnati Bengals are allowing star DE Trey Hendrickson to test the trade waters this week, setting up what could be another blockbuster move at the start of the league year.

Hendrickson (36 sacks, 5 forced fumbles across the past 2 seasons), is entering a contract year in 2025, set to earn a non-guaranteed $16M. With edge defender numbers rising daily (Maxx Crosby $35.5M APY), Hendrickson's contract demands likely outpriced the Bengals, who are actively trying to lock down their top two wide receivers this spring.

The 30-year-old projects toward a 2 year, $61M extension in our system. His trade would leave behind just $2,666,666 of dead cap to Cincy, freeing the $16M. There is expected to be significant interest around the league.
