Trey Hendrickson

The Athletic’s Josh Kendall reports that Cincinnati’s asking price in a trade for Trey Hendrickson “includes a first-round pick.”

Kendall, who covers a team that would seem to be very motivated to acquire Hendrickson in the Falcons, would be a good candidate to be sniffing around this information. Hendrickson has floated in quasi-limbo with his contract this offseason as the Bengals don’t appear to be willing to meet his demands. The asking price of a first-round pick seems unrealistic for a player entering his age-31 season, even one as good as Hendrickson was last year. The combination of those two things means we could be in for an extended impasse.
