Of all the teams vying for Hendrickson, the Lions have perhaps the most defensive talent, but likely don't want to trade much from their defense. A solid compromise is Barnes, who is currently in the first year of a three-year extension and has produced over 200 tackles in 51 games in the NFL.

There's good news and bad news as it relates to the Bengals' lingering contract impasse with defensive end Trey Hendrickson. ESPN's Adam Schefter said during the Monday night Cincinnati-Washington pregame show that the Bengals and Hendrickson have an agreement as to the duration of the deal and the annual average.

Three weeks before their season opener vs. the Browns, the Bengals are entertaining trade offers for 30-year-old Pro Bowl defensive end Trey Hendrickson.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said to expect quarterback Joe Burrow and the first-team offense to play about one quarter against the Commanders.

Myles Garrett requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns, who answered back with a record-setting contract extension. The Bengals might be playing hardball, but they will likely have to produce a contract around the same amount as Garrett's to keep Hendrickson from walking out of the building.

Cincinnati’s asking price for Trey Hendrickson is setting off comparisons to a Falcons gamble made 31 years ago.
