There are two notable pass rushers in the NFL seeking extensions with their teams at the moment and one of the teams in question is going to start listening to trade offers. That team is the Cincinnati Bengals.
It was reported on Sunday that Cincy is going to begin entertaining offers (as if they weren’t to this point, but this is the report nonetheless) with regards to last year’s NFL sack leader, Trey Hendrickson. This is all relevant to the Cowboys as the other team involved in a stalemate with a pass rusher is Dallas as they are through two preseason games now with no extension for Micah Parsons.
Obviously these two situations are not exactly apples to apples. While Hendrickson is a very good player and did lead the league in sacks last year, he is not viewed to be on the exact level of Parsons and is four years older. It makes sense for Hendrickson to want a deal that lines up with his production to this point, but the point in this specific instance is that he is not as much of a slam dunk no-brainer as Parsons.
Whatever the case, to date the Bengals had publicly refuted any idea that they were going to listen to trade offers for Hendrickson. Parsons issued a trade request from the Cowboys (now over two weeks ago) and Dallas has maintained a stance that they are not interested in moving him. Things can always change.
