Count me in the group that wants to trade for Trey Hendrickson. Sack machine, very durable, and just turned 30. We need more playmakers on defense.

If the Commanders are going for it this coming season then yes. There is no other player, if he becomes available, that could do more to help us go all the way than Trey Hendrickson. He is one of the very best in the league at a critical position where we have a great need and he is not slowing down.

Here is something I read recently that makes me think the Bengals won't be able to sign him:

From their Executive VP Katie Blackburn, "I think he [Hendrickson] should be happy at certain rates that maybe he doesn't think he'd be happy at," Blackburn said Tuesday, via NFL Media. "I think some of it is on him to be happy at some point, and if he's not, you know, that's what holds it up sometimes. So, you know, it takes him to say yes to something, and also, we have all the respect in the world for him. He's been a great player. We're happy to have him. And so maybe we'll find a way to get something to work. We're just gonna see where it goes."

I bolded the worst parts of her stupid comments. What she says is not negotiating. It is telling him to stop being "greedy" and take what they are willing to offer. We all know this team is cheap and they have already gone out of character to sign three offensive players to monster contracts. I doubt that they will even tag Hendrickson because they won't want to have another huge contract on the books. Now would be a good time for the Commanders to make Cincy a very good trade offer for him that they can hardly refuse due to their cheapness and then sign him to a nice contract.

p.s. It seems to me that Trey needs a better agent.
