"BREAKING: The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to trade star Trey Hendrickson to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2025 3rd round pick. The reigning sack leader heads to Green Bay where he’s expecting to sign a long term deal. (per@AdamSchefter"
But, it appears to be some random, made-up, fake-news post. As one person pointed out, Adam Schefter apparently has no such information on his feed. ... And it was posted 8 hours ago
The Bengals are not going to trade Hendrickson for a 3rd round draft pick. They would get a 3rd round comp pick if they kept him until his contract was up. Hendrickson only costs the Bengals 16 million to keep him this season so it makes no sense to trade him for a 3rd round pick.
It seems to me Trey and his agent overvalued his worth across the league. The Bengals now might not have the money to pay him their original offer since they expected to lose him and used 7 million of their cap to bring Ossai back. If Hendrickson had signed the Bengals offer do they spend the 7 million on Ossai instead of looking at a deep draft? Trey's agent might have screwed Trey over on this one. Trey may have to lower his price for everyone including the Bengals offer unless he wants to play for 16-18 million this season and try again next year.
