Patriots' interest in Trey Hendrickson is real but there is a catch
Briefly

As the New England Patriots conclude training camp, speculation emerges about a potential trade for Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson. The Bengals reportedly seek a 2026 first-round pick and a young defensive player in exchange, a price deemed too high by the Patriots. Concerns regarding Hendrickson’s age and the value of the draft pick in relation to the team's performance this season contribute to the Patriots' reluctance. If the Bengals were open to a lower offer, such as a second-round pick, discussions might gain traction.
The Bengals want a 2026 first-round pick along with a young defensive player for Hendrickson, but the Patriots find this cost too steep.
New England’s expectation this season may force them to keep their first-round pick for a potentially early 2026 draft selection.
