Sports Illustrated also thinks the Rams should try to trade us for him:

Quote:"Closing out with the biggest and most obvious name. Hendrickson has had a very public battle with the Bengals' front office over the last year. From requesting a trade, to going on The Pat McAfee Show and airing dirty laundry, the reigning sack king just wants paid what the market calls for him to be paid. If the Bengals really aren't going to budge, trading him is the only other option. The Rams need a difference-maker off the edge, and if anyone is willing to part ways with picks in exchange for proven talent, it's Les Snead," Bailey said.

BVM Sports thinks we should trade him to the Colts, which would just be swapping first-round picks and then also facing us their second-rounder.

Quote:The Indianapolis Colts are eyeing a potential trade for star pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson from the Cincinnati Bengals, leveraging recent issues in his contract negotiations. This blockbuster deal could send Hendrickson and a 2025 first-round pick (No. 17) to Indy in exchange for picks No. 14 and No. 45 in the same draft. Despite high compensation, concerns remain over Hendrickson's contract demands, projected between $30-35 million, considering he's turning 31 in December. Hendrickson’s impressive stats since 2021, including 57 sacks, further underscore his value to the Colts as they seek to bolster their defense. The Colts have made significant moves this offseason and are not yet out of the running for Hendrickson.

Don't think I like either of those options but they're better than overpaying Trey, IMCO.
