Hendrickson Emerges As Potential Trade Chip

The NFL trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 4. Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson has emerged as a top potential chip; he is in the final year of his contract, reportedly requested a trade this offseason and is battling a hip injury, while the Bengals have softened their stance and are seeking at least a first-round pick. Teams such as the 49ers, Cowboys and Eagles have been linked to Hendrickson, and other contenders including the Patriots, Bills and Ravens are actively weighing upgrades before the deadline. Across the league, clubs must decide whether to buy for playoff pushes or sell expiring veterans for draft capital, with deals hinging on price, injury status and buy/sell strategy.
