“The 2024 season was the best of Hendrickson’s career… His 20.0% pass‑rush win rate tied Nick Bosa for the third-best mark in the league.” That is what PFF’s Ryan Smith said about the defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals, Trey Hendrickson, as the star has torn through the NFL scenes lately. But his glory days in Cincinnati may be over as his contract with the team has ended.
Even though negotiations reportedly resumed after Hendrickson said he “won’t play this season under his current contract,” noting his base pay is well behind that of peers like Myles Garrett, the team might just bid him farewell. And an interested buyer is just around the corner. If not him, then certainly his team’s fan base. It all transpired when a fan asked Green Bay Packers President Mark Murphy whether fan noise surrounding the potential trade of first-round picks, potentially for star free agents like edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, might sway the organization.
The fan said, “It’s Time GUTEKUNST call Cincinnati and get Trey Hendrixson, you have the money to bring him in don’t F— this up he can change this whole defense, and you know damn well he can!!!! Don’t f— up this time, fix this defense with one move a*****!!!” And Murphy simply replied, “No question, Sam, but thanks for your input.”
This dry dismissal, “No question, Sam,” sums up the stance: the front office appreciates the passion but won’t be sidetracked. Will the Packers go out of their way to make this move?
“This is a developing story.”
