Overview
- FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports teams calling the Bengals about Trey Hendrickson are no longer being told no after a prior hard refusal.
- The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports Cincinnati is seeking a first-round pick, and an acquiring team would absorb roughly half of his $29 million 2025 salary.
- The shift follows a 47-42 loss to the Bears that dropped the Bengals to 3-6, putting their playoff outlook in doubt.
- Hendrickson is dealing with a hip issue that reports say is not considered long term.
- The 49ers, Cowboys and Eagles are cited as potential suitors due to pass-rush needs, though any deal remains uncertain before the Nov. 4 cutoff.
