The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0have been one of the many suitors of All-Pro edge rusher\u00a0Trey Hendrickson, who is widely regarded as the top remaining unsigned free agent of this class.<\/p>\n

Although Hendrickson will turn 32 in December, his production has been elite since 2020, where he broke out with 13.5 sacks in his final season with the\u00a0New Orleans Saints. Since then he has been one of the most potent forces off the edge in the entire league with the\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals, but after failing to agree to a new deal with the organization, he is set to play elsewhere in 2026.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Cowboys, still in need of another edge rusher after trading away\u00a0Micah Parsons\u00a0last August for two first round picks, are one of the teams most associated with a move for Hendrickson.<\/p>\n

However, the former third round pick has decided to take his time and not rush into any decision with haste, as he has not agreed to a deal now approaching the end of the second day of the legal tampering period prior to the start of the new league year.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

But according to The Athletic\u2019s Dianna Russini the wait will soon be over for Dallas and other teams courting his services, as he is reportedly set to make his final decision by Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Trey Hendrickson Set to Decide on New Team by Wednesday<\/h2>\n

\u201cFree agent pass rusher Trey Hendrickson is expected to make a formal decision tomorrow, per sources. Several teams continue to monitor the market and remain interested. He has offers on the table.\u201d Russini\u00a0reported\u00a0on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hendrickson had the most sacks of any player in the between 2023 and 2024, managing a massive 35 over that span \u2013 coming in split at 17.5 sacks in both seasons.<\/p>\n

A pelvis injury limited the All-Pro defensive end to just seven games and four sacks in 2025, but there is clearly optimism around the league that he is still a game-changing presence, even at age 31.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Will Hendrickson\u2019s Market Be Affected By Maxx Crosby?<\/h2>\n

Las Vegas Raiders\u2018 All-Pro edge rusher\u00a0Maxx Crosby\u2019s\u00a0trade to the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0fell through on what has reported to be medical concerns, specifically that of his banged up knee that caused him to be shut down for the final games of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Now that Crosby is back on the market, albeit with some medical questions and concerns, it is not totally apparent what kind of trade compensation he will demand.<\/p>\n

The next Crosby trade \u2013 if there even is one \u2013 is unlikely to supplant the 14th overall pick in 2026 and the\u00a0Ravens\u2018 2027 first rounder haul that was agreed upon last week. Indeed there may only be a select number of teams that medically clear him after this debacle, reducing the number of prospective trade-clients for Vegas.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

But otherwise having an ostensibly cheaper Crosby back on the market should theoretically reduce Hendrickson\u2019s price, if only by a little \u2013 and at the very least it certainly will not increase his wage demands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
