Bleacher Report Lists Bears As Trade Suitor For Star Pass Rusher.
Bleacher Report’s Adam Wells Believes That The Chicago Bears Could Be A Top Trade Suitor For Star Pass Rusher Trey Hendrickson.
Cincinnati Bengals star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson has requested a trade on April 24th. The turn of events comes after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Hendrickson is disgruntled over the team’s unwillingness to meet his request for a long-term contract. From a personal standpoint, he has every right to demand a new contract. Hendrickson has made the Pro Bowl every year with the Bengals and ranks third in the NFL with 53 sacks over the past four seasons. With all the uncertainty surrounding Hendrickson, Bleacher Report’s Adam Wells believes the Chicago Bears should be a trade suitor for the three-time Pro Bowler.

Does Trading For Yet Another Pass Rusher Make Sense For The Bears?
The Bears recently traded a second-round pick during the 2023-24 season for pass rusher Montez Sweat. A move that made the defense go from worst to first was a detrimental trade for the Bears. However, is it worth using more draft capital for another player in the same position? Absolutely. The Bears
desperately need another pass rusher opposite Sweat who can create pressure and generate sacks on his own. Trading for Trey Hendrickson would immediately solve the Bears biggest concern on defense and create one of the best pass-rushing duos in the NFL.
The Bears still have around $23 million in cap space and have the draft capital necessary for a player of Hendrickson’s caliber. The bigger problem is if the Bengals are willing to part ways with Hendrickson. With Super Bowl aspirations and a star quarterback, having Hendrickson on the team is vital for the Bengals. It appears it would take substantial draft capital to acquire him.
