Trey Hendrickson led the NFL in sacks on an otherwise horrific Cincinnati Bengals defense in 2024. With Hendrickson\u2019s contract set to expire this season, it\u2019s distinctly possible that the veteran pass rusher will be on a new team sooner rather than later. Without a new contract, Hendrickson ain\u2019t playing another down for the Bengals<\/a>. The latest news is that contract talks have resumed after Hendrickson sat out minicamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah recently appeared on Seattle Sports 710<\/a> to talk about the Seahawks, including Brock and Salk co-host Mike Salk\u2019s idea of Seattle acquiring Hendrickson in exchange for a second- and fifth-round pick. Consider Jeremiah a fan of the proposal.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI know you\u2019ve got to pay him a bunch of money, but heck yeah, man,\u201d Jeremiah said (via SeattleSports.com<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019d be in the business of trying to collect great players. (The Seahawks have) a fast defense. They\u2019ve got a very talented defense. But man, you throw in a guy like that who\u2019s gonna get off the bus and get you 12 to 15 sacks because he\u2019s such a good, natural, instinctive pass rusher? And you\u2019re in a division where you\u2019ve gotta go hunt Matthew Stafford?<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, 100%, I would try and be in on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Seahawks are coming off a year in which they finally had a player crack 10+ sacks for the first time since 2018. Leonard Williams notched 11 sacks on the year but he\u2019s predominantly an interior player. Boye Mafe and Derick Hall combined for 14 sacks, or 3.5 less than Hendrickson managed last year.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a good defense now,\u201d Jeremiah said. \u201cThey\u2019re a fast defense and they\u2019re athletic and they\u2019ve added some more young pieces. But when you get down to it, when you get to third-and-7 and you\u2019re looking at this front, you go, OK, man, there\u2019s a lot of really good players there. But I don\u2019t know that I\u2019m looking at that group saying, OK, this is 100% where I\u2019ve got to direct extra attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think he would be that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hendrickson has a non-guaranteed $15 million salary for 2025<\/a>. That\u2019s not much of a concern for any team looking to trade for him; it\u2019s gauging his market value as a 30-year-old who\u2019s presumably seeking something a lot more than the $15 million\/year he signed for as a free agent back in 2021. He\u2019s racked up double-digit sacks four of his last five seasons, so he\u2019s in the prime of his career.<\/p>\n

While I see the rationale behind looking to get Hendrickson, I\u2019d be surprised if the Seahawks did one of those \u201cmortgage the future to try and win a championship now\u201d moves. The only thing to note is that Boye Mafe is entering the last year of his contract and there\u2019s hardly a guarantee he\u2019s going to be on Seattle\u2019s roster in 2026. Would Seattle think about upgrading at an already good position at the risk of getting older and more expensive? I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
