Philadelphia, PA – June 12, 2025

Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman is pulling out all the stops to secure another Super Bowl LX title, reportedly crafting enticing trade offers to bring Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to Philly, sources told ESPN. The move aims to solidify the Eagles’ 2025 championship run.

Hendrickson, 30, dominated the NFL in 2024 with a league-leading 17.5 sacks, alongside 46 tackles, six passes defended, and two forced fumbles in 17 games, per Pro-Football-Reference.com. His breakout performances—including four sacks against the Raiders and 3.5 sacks versus Pittsburgh—earned him two AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors, a fourth straight First-Team All-Pro nod, and a Pro Bowl selection.

Roseman, armed with $30 million in cap space for 2026 and 13 draft picks, is offering a 2026 first-round pick, a 2027 third-round pick, and a conditional 2026 fifth-round pick that could become a fourth if Hendrickson plays over 70% of snaps, according to The Athletic. The Bengals, focused on a rebuild, might bite, as Hendrickson’s $14.8 million cap hit in 2025 aligns with Philly’s budget, per Spotrac.

The Eagles, led by Haason Reddick’s 11 sacks in 2024, need a spark following Brandon Graham’s retirement and Bryce Huff’s trade to San Francisco. Bleeding Green Nation notes Hendrickson’s career 77.0 sacks and relentless drive will bolster Vic Fangio’s defensive scheme.

An NFL executive dubbed Hendrickson a “game-wrecker,” drawing comparisons to Reggie White in his prime, per NBC Sports Philadelphia. Pairing him with Reddick and rookie Jihaad Campbell could make Philly’s seven-man front unstoppable, building on their league-best 278.4 yards allowed per game in 2024.

Fans on X are buzzing: “Trey in Philly? Super Bowl locked!” (@EaglesNation). Others caution, “A first-round pick is risky!” (@PhillyFanatic). Roseman’s bold trade history—landing Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown—fuels optimism, per PhillyVoice.

Cincinnati’s hesitation stems from Hendrickson’s value, but their 5-12 record in 2024 and Joe Burrow’s looming extension might force a deal, per ESPN. Roseman’s hefty draft package is hard to ignore.
