Explore the latest developments concerning Bengals-Lions Trey Hendrickson.
Bengals-Lions Trey Hendrickson trade proposed by ESPN writer
ESPN's Bill Barnwell wrote that among offers that make sense at the 2025 NFL trade deadline would be a deal sending Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson with a 2026 fourth-round pick to the Detroit Lions for a 2026 second-round pick.
"I've pitched a Hendrickson to the Lions trade before, and it's come with more draft capital going to the Bengals," Barnwell wrote. "This wouldn't be as lucrative of a deal. Why? Timing. If the Lions were going to acquire Hendrickson during the offseason, it would have been as part of a move to sign the star pass rusher to an extension. Now, with Hendrickson in the final year of his deal, this would be a pure rental. The Bengals are closer to losing Hendrickson for nothing in free agency."
PFF Identifies Seven Possible Detroit Lions Trade Targets
Through the first six weeks of the NFL season, the Detroit Lions sit second in the NFC North at 4-2.
While their offense is high scoring, and Aidan Hutchinson and Amon-Ra St. Brown are having prolific seasons, Sunday’s result against Kansas City showed the Lions have holes in their roster to fill if they want to compete for the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season.
With the trade deadline of November 4 rapidly approaching, PFF listed 20 players that are likely finding new homes, and Detroit was listed as a candidate for seven of them. The Lions were buyers last deadline, securing Za’Darius Smith’s services for what turned out to be his last full season.

7 potential Lions targets ahead of the NFL trade deadline
There are still a few weeks before the NFL's trade deadline, which hits in 2025 on November 4th. That's just after the Lions play the Vikings in Week 9, coming out of the Week 8 bye.
ESPN's Adam Schefter published a list of players that he reports "NFL front office executives and coaches believe could be available ahead of this year's trade deadline." No Lions are on the list, as expected; Detroit is a legit Super Bowl contender and not in a position to sell off any talent.
As far as Detroit being a buyer, it's plausible that GM Brad Holmes will dip a toe into the market again. He did so last year, acquiring EDGE Za'Darius Smith to help bolster an injury-depleted lineup. That trade with the Browns, which saw Detroit send a 2025 5th-round pick and 2026 6th-rounder to Cleveland for Smith and a 7th-round pick in 2026, is the scale of trade that could get the Lions to push the trade button again ahead of the 2025 trade deadline.
