Bears Eye $99M Pass Rusher Hendrickson
3 Mar
Summary
- Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson projected to join Chicago Bears.
- Contract projection is a $99 million deal with the Bears.
- Bears must make significant cap moves to afford Hendrickson.

The Cincinnati Bengals' offseason focus is on their defense, particularly the potential departure of edge rusher Trey Hendrickson in free agency. A prediction from USA Today suggests Hendrickson will sign with the Chicago Bears for a projected $99 million, though this deal might be financially challenging for Chicago.
Hendrickson, who missed part of the 2025 season due to injury and saw a decrease in his pressure rate, would still represent a significant upgrade for the Bears' pass rush. Currently, Chicago is over the salary cap, necessitating major financial maneuvers to secure Hendrickson's services.
If the Bears can clear the necessary cap space, acquiring Hendrickson would align with their goal of contending. Adding a veteran pass rusher like Hendrickson would significantly strengthen their defensive line and enhance their Super Bowl aspirations.
