Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson requested a trade on Wednesday, according to his agent, Harold Lewis, as he seeks more long-term security after the two sides settled on a one-year extension last year worth $21 million. However, a source said that the Bengals are not interested in trading Hendrickson. It's not surprise that Hendrickson is looking for a new deal after posting a career-high 17.5 sacks, which was second in the NFL behind Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt. It was the highest total for a Bengals player since sacks became a statistic in 1982. He also finished 11th in pass-rush win rate as an edge rusher and created the second-most sacks (18) in the league. Contract issues aside, Hendrickson is going to be a very coveted defensive lineman in IDP fantasy formats this fall after his big 2023 campaign.

Cincinnati Bengals three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Trey Hendrickson has requested to be traded from the Bengals, according to a league source. Hendrickson is due to make $15 million in 2024 and is looking for more long-term security than the Bengals have been willing to offer. It remains to be seen if the 29-year-old's wish will be granted with the first round of the 2024 NFL draft coming on Thursday evening. The former third-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2017 out of Florida Atlantic has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons with the Bengals. In 17 starts in 2023, he had a career-high 43 tackles (28 solo), a career-high 17.5 sacks, 16 tackles for loss, 25 QB hits and three forced fumbles. Even if he heads to a new team for 2024, Hendrickson should still be in play as a weekly starting defensive lineman in IDP fantasy leagues.

Outside of pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson, the Cincinnati Bengals didn't have much of a pass rush in 2023. Hendrickson had 17.5 sacks and 79 pressures. Sam Hubbard was second on the team in sacks at six, while B.J. Hill was second in pressures with 42. The Bengals could also lose defensive tackle DJ Reader, who tore his quadriceps muscle in December, in free agency. Cincinnati needs to find a way to get constant pressure up the middle to complement their edge rushers, and they need a disruptive complement for Hill at the three-technique position. The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. writes that the Bengals really just need any help they can get at defensive tackle this offseason.

The Cincinnati Bengals officially ruled out defensive end Sam Hubbard (ankle) for the Thursday Night Football showdown in Week 11 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Hubbard will now miss his second straight game with an ankle injury, with Cameron Sample likely taking over him on Cincy's defensive line. The 28-year-old Hubbard is a notable loss this week as the Bengals look to put Week 10's upset loss to the Houston Texans in the rearview mirror in this all-important divisional clash against the AFC North-leading Ravens. The good news for the Bengals defense is that fellow pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson (knee) was removed from the final injury report and will play on Thursday night.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (knee) faces an uphill battle to play on Thursday, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Hendrickson got hurt late in the Bengals' 30-27 loss against the Houston Texans last week and suffered a hyperextended knee in the contest. But Fowler said he "wouldn't put it past him to at least try [to play this week]." The Bengals' defensive end did upgrade his practice status on Tuesday and practiced in a limited fashion. Even if he's active for Thursday against the Baltimore Ravens, he might be extremely limited. So, in IDP leagues, he should likely only be started in extremely deep leagues.
