Trey Hendrickson Available For Trade
November 3rd, 2025
On the market.
Excuse Joe for dreaming out loud.
Would Joe love a double-digit guy off the edge for the Bucs right about now? Well, the answer to that question is the same answer Joe would offer if Rachel Watson came knocking on his front door.
It seems, per FOX insider Jay Glazer, that miserly, stubborn Bengals shot-caller Mike Brown has relented. All-World edge rusher Trey Hendrickson has been angling to get out of Cincinnati it seems longer than Pete Rose was begging to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Hendrickson apparently has worn Brown down. Glazer said yesterday Hendrickson is available to be traded — for the right price, of course.
And therein lies the problem. Joe knows Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht is partial to his draft picks. So prying one out of him is a battle to begin with.
And Licht isn’t exactly bending over to acquire a (soon-to-be) 31-year old edge rusher, even though Hendrickson has 39 sacks since the start of the 2023 season.
And yes, Hendrickson, who played football and graduated from Warren Sapp High School in Apopka, would want to be paid wherever he goes. And that ain’t gonna be cheap.
Is Hendrickson worth it football-wise? Eff, yes! But when you look at the big picture, Joe would be shocked if Licht broke down and acquired Hendrickson.
But hey, Joe is allowed to dream, isn’t he, Rachel?
"It seemed like a hard no about a week or so ago, and now it's not."

Not sure why this is even worth posting.
November 3rd, 2025 at 12:04 am
Fortunately our defense is not the glaring issue right now
November 3rd, 2025 at 12:06 am
Just like you wouldn’t stop clamoring for Hassan reddick only to be back to doing the same thing the same season you got your wish lol
November 3rd, 2025 at 12:16 am
Statguy: exactly what I was thinking
November 3rd, 2025 at 12:17 am
@Joe, Jason Litch literally laughs out loud at such a notion. Then he’ll remind everyone that his studly draft pick aka Chris Braswell, is just lying in wait to “shock the world.” Key word here is “lying.” To himself and anyone who will listen.
November 3rd, 2025 at 12:45 am
Eagles are gonna trade a 3rd and 5th for this guy, while Licht is gonna sit on his as*.
November 3rd, 2025 at 12:51 am
I wouldn’t do many trades because the team has so many needs.
But I would do this for a 3rd or later.
Trey has a few years left.
November 3rd, 2025 at 12:57 am
Next years draft pics won’t win this years Super Bowl
November 3rd, 2025 at 1:19 am
Unless he magically turns into a new middle linebacker he wouldn’t be worth it.
November 3rd, 2025 at 1:33 am
Too much required unfortunately….besides if we can land LB help a lot cheaper, lets go that route….and Nelson os showing out.
November 3rd, 2025 at 1:53 am
With David and Evans retiring, it would be irresponsible to make that trade. We have a lot of important pieces to replace and with all the injuries we have, one player is not going to get us over the top this year.
November 3rd, 2025 at 2:58 am
I’m glad homie got his bag, but he is tied for sacks with Diaby this year. he might already be on the decline… it would be a high price and a multi year commitment. worth it? for maybe 2-3 more sacks than we’d already get this year… idk.
November 3rd, 2025 at 3:01 am
save the draft pick and maybe find a stud in the draft next year. hendrickson and crosby were both 4th round draft picks. those picks are valuable… Licht will eventually land a lights out edge rusher in the draft. who knows. maybe it’s walker.
November 3rd, 2025 at 3:21 am
Not worth a bidding war when they draft well. He doesn’t play guard either
November 3rd, 2025 at 4:05 am
No more 31 year old guys for big $$$.
November 3rd, 2025 at 4:23 am
I agree with much of what has been said, ie: we have bigger needs, he may be declining, bowles won’t use him correctly anyhow, etc. But kgh4life makes a GREAT point. Every time a guy becomes available, people wildly overestimate what it is gonna take to trade for him. Not EVERY guy is gonna take 3 first rounders. Then you see what it actually took to get him, and you’re like “oh, that’s all? I’d have made that deal.” And of course none of us know, but it sure feels like Licht often doesn’t even make the calls to see what it would take. If so, that is an area that needs improvement. There are many guys over the years I would’ve like to have seen come to the Bucs that could’ve been had for Braswell type picks. And yes the eagles make a LOT of those type of trades.
November 3rd, 2025 at 6:13 am
Offer a third! NY let JPP go for that, and offering a higher pick than that wouldn’t be worth it, not for a 30 year old guy who has had a somewhat injury prone career.
November 3rd, 2025 at 6:20 am
I can’t believe I’m saying this but if it’s a one year rental for the right price go for it but I wouldn’t want to resign him to a multi year deal at his age an cost not how Jason put this team together unlike keeping our home grown talent together guys who have put in the time an effort on this team already
November 3rd, 2025 at 6:40 am
No need for another pass coverage guy. We got plenty of them.
November 3rd, 2025 at 6:53 am
Not at this time. Defense is going well.
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:01 am
JASON Jason Litch is going to watch the Bucs suffer another playoff loss, and back to the drawing board for next year to prepare for another playoff loss as always!
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:04 am
A third round pick and Dean might do it. Get the trade done before Dean is injured again.
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:11 am
Who cares? Seriously, he just got hurt in the Jets-Bengals game, left and never came back. Hendrickson is just a name at this point in the season.
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:12 am
Great player but will likely cost a ton with little tread left. Other rushers that come cheaper and are younger.
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:22 am
When will one of you Joes just admit there will be no movement on trades by Licht. He has hope…hope that Evans defies medical reality and comes back; likewise for Godwin; likewise for Bucky; likewise for Big 67; and on and on it goes. I wasn’t aware some named hope plays all those positions at the same time. Hmmm, interesting. Bottom line, prepare for a very bumpy next 3 games. The right side of the line will prove again the are a turnstile, a sieve. Hey, put hope in for them. Hope surely will be All Pro. So, NO, the Bucs don’t need to do anything by late Tuesday. Hope’s got it. We’re good
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:33 am
richbucsfan, Hope springs eternal.
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:41 am
Dream on. NO trades will be made here. They’ll ride with the players they have and keep their draft picks. They know the injuries are too much to overcome for a deep SB this season. All in for 2026.
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:44 am
HENDRICKSON wouldve been great at the beginning of the year but not now…
we have bigger issues such as the Oline!!!!
hold fast!!!
6-2!!!!
GO BUCS!!!!
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:51 am
I would pass on him unless he came cheap. Phillips or Chubb in Miami may be cheaper with equal or greater value. Where I’ll lose my mind is if later this afternoon, we see that Philly, the Rams or another contender grabbed one of these guys for a 6th round pick.
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:52 am
Nice. This guy gonna help us score more points on offense?
November 3rd, 2025 at 7:58 am
I think Reddick was worth it too?
November 3rd, 2025 at 8:09 am
Sadly with the injuries to the starting roster the franchise is not in a position to make a move like that.
I say No to a move like that especially for a 31 year old player
November 3rd, 2025 at 8:18 am
@statguy
That was my exact thought. Good one!!
November 3rd, 2025 at 8:36 am
Pass.
If you are trading for someone, it should be a producing player who is no older than 28. That way there is value.
There are a couple WRs out there that fit the bill…but that’s about it.
No one on the Dolphins is worth getting.
November 3rd, 2025 at 8:40 am
I have not given up on Braswell or any of our 2024-2025 picks.
I believe in player development. And I know it takes time.
This generation is filled with impatience.
November 3rd, 2025 at 8:48 am
had enough 30+ year old has-been pass rushers
November 3rd, 2025 at 8:57 am
This is where Licht sucks as a GM! knowing when a mid season trade could top the scales and help him make the deep run. Instead no you get bludgeoned to death on every 4th down by a team called the commanders
November 3rd, 2025 at 9:04 am
At over 30 nah too expensive and too old.
November 3rd, 2025 at 9:08 am
Watching the Bengals-Bears yesterday and a 41 year old Joe Flacco was hitting multiple receivers all over the field, making tough catches in a physical game. Since Cincinnati isn’t going to overcome the field in the AFC they are going to be looking for picks. One of those receivers can probably be had for a 5th rounder. Licht needs to make the pick. Baker cannot go out there with just Ebola and Johnson. Any receiver that can be Cinnci’s 3rd or 4th receiver is an upgrade over Sharp who is smaller and so is Johnson. The Bucs need someone who can jump and catch some of those jump balls. Make a trade Jason. Don’t leave Baker with a shortage of weapons. Don’t forget about Otton and get some creative plays from the Coen playbook. I don’t understand why they have gone to a conservative offense with no pick plays, slants or delayed screens. Every time they do a screen, it isn’t set up with blockers and White is tackled immediately. If there was more motion and more short passes, the running backs would have more room.
November 3rd, 2025 at 9:53 am
JOE I am in the same boat my only hesitation is would he be another hasson riddeck.
November 3rd, 2025 at 10:05 am
I don’t know why but Hason Reddick is always hottest in the second half of the season. Let’s give him and Nelson the opportunity to play edge for us. We really need a guard and linebacker wouldn’t hurt. Especially a starting caliber guard.
November 3rd, 2025 at 10:23 am
He’s been injured. He didn’t even play yesterday at all, I don’t think!? Though, that could’ve been BECAUSE they knew they were ready to finally move-on, and did not want to risk further injury!? But, with that said… I would consider offering app to a 3rd (since he’s been banged-up), IF he plays in at least 9-games. If not, then it reduces to a 4th, and anything under 6-games it then becomes a 5th. It’s worth the risk at half his prorated salary. Otherwise, I’m not interested.
November 3rd, 2025 at 10:40 am
So, basically, you are giving-up a 4th, that could become a 3rd or even a 5th, determined by how many games he plays in. I’d do it! Hell, if he’s even 90%, it changes A LOT on our defense. I’ve been leaning a lot more towards winning with DEFENSE. And, that’s why I’ve wanted to shore up our depth in the middle heart of it! We’re just too banged-up on Offense, and that is not going to change anytime soon. There’s just not a whole helluva lot we can do about it right now, either. Bad game-plan and play-calling. Go to more of a spread offense, get the ball outta Bake’s hands QUICK in the short to intermediate part of the field, and ‘in-stride’ to our RB’s and ‘little’ WR’s (lots of 2-back sets – hell, there’s no reason not to). Protect the ball. Win the turnover battle, and win with DEFENSE. Then, maybe we can get some of our guys back on the Offense I just in time for a potential deep playoff run.
November 3rd, 2025 at 10:47 am
Gruden is on Barstool Sports on FS1 right now, pumping up the Bucs-Patriots game to Portnoy (huge Pats fan)… Sounds-like, Portnoy is coming down for the game and they’re going to get together for it!!!!
November 3rd, 2025 at 12:18 pm
The Rams and Eagles will make trades tomorrow, not the Bucs.
November 3rd, 2025 at 1:25 pm
Trade for him!! Send Reddick and a 2nd
