Enter Trey Hendrickson in the chat. For the second consecutive year, the Cincinnati Bengals defensive end has requested a trade. This time, the team has granted him permission to seek one, and several teams are reportedly interested in adding the Pro Bowl defender.

The Washington Commanders are in the market to upgrade their defensive line. The addition of Trey Hendrickson would certainly be an upgrade. It might cost the Commanders a high draft pick to secure his services from the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Commanders have plenty of cap space, plenty of needs, and plenty of momentum from their best season in decade as free agency looms.

The Commanders need an edge, and they could be pursuing Trey Hendrickson now or could wait to see if Myles Garrett becomes available?

The decision was expected after the team couldn’t find a trade partner for Allen, who has spent his entire eight-year NFL career in Washington.
