Overview
- Dianna Russini reports Cincinnati is not shopping Trey Hendrickson, with league chatter now expecting no trade as the Nov. 4 deadline approaches.
- The 49ers are identified as the team showing the most interest in the All‑Pro edge rusher after losing Nick Bosa and Fred Warner for the season.
- Ian Rapoport says any deal the Bengals would even consider centers on a young contributor plus a future mid‑round pick, a softer ask than summer talks.
- Earlier reporting indicated Cincinnati sought a high pick and Colts DT Grover Stewart in offseason discussions, underscoring the team’s leverage.
- Hendrickson missed Week 7 with a hip issue, but MRI results were reported clear; he has four sacks this season on a reworked one‑year deal that could make him a rental unless extended.
