Overview
- ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Cowboys recently looked into Trey Hendrickson, but Cincinnati does not plan to deal him.
- Reporting from The Athletic indicates the Bengals are not shopping Hendrickson and league expectations are that he will stay put after the Week 7 win.
- Zac Taylor says Hendrickson is day-to-day with a hip/back issue, leaving his Week 8 availability uncertain.
- Cincinnati views Hendrickson as not truly on an expiring deal due to retained 2026 franchise-tag rights following his one-year, roughly $29–30 million restructure.
- Interest has come from contenders including the 49ers, Eagles, Lions and Colts, yet past high asking prices—reportedly exceeding a first-round pick and even including Grover Stewart—have limited realistic trade paths.
