Falcons consider trading for Bengals star Trey Hendrickson

The Atlanta Falcons are looking to improve their pass rush after a disappointing 2024 season. They recently signed veteran Leonard Floyd but are considering a trade for Cincinnati Bengals star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson, who led the NFL in sacks in 2024, is seeking a new contract and has permission to explore trade options. The Falcons would need to restructure contracts to fit his salary, as they currently have limited cap space. The Bengals reportedly want at least a first-round pick for Hendrickson, but some analysts suggest they may settle for a second- or third-round pick. The Falcons are interested in acquiring him to bolster their defense.
