GREAT MOVE: The Cowboys Are Inching Closer To A Bold Move For 4x Pro Bowl Bengals Pass-Rusher

GREAT MOVE: The Cowboys Are Inching Closer To A Bold Move For 4x Pro Bowl Bengals Pass-Rusher

The trade winds are picking up ahead of Week 6, and it looks like the Dallas Cowboys have their sights set on a bold move: bringing in Trey Hendrickson — one of the league’s top edge rushers — to fill the void left by Micah Parsons.

Why Now?

The Cincinnati Bengals find themselves in a tricky spot. They’re set to face Green Bay after the bye week, and if the losing streak continues, Hendrickson could become a player the team is willing to “move” as they prioritize rebuilding.

Over the past two seasons, Hendrickson has been elite, posting 17.5 sacks in back-to-back seasons — no fluke.

Contract negotiations with the Bengals remain unresolved, and using the franchise tag would push his salary over $30 million, a cost the team may not be willing to absorb amid a rebuild.

Jerry Jones Is Poised

Owner Jerry Jones hasn’t hidden the fact that the Cowboys are “open for business”:

“I think that old sign ‘Open for business’ is there. We are continuing looking as we go on into this season … Yes, we’re in position to improve our team if we get an opportunity to.”

The message is clear: the biggest need is the defensive front — specifically edge pressure. Since losing Parsons, Dallas has yet to find a reliable leader at that position.

Risks and Rewards

  • Risks: Hendrickson is over 30, and a new contract would be costly. Acquiring him means Dallas would need to pay draft capital and manage cap implications.

  • Reward: If the move works, it’s an instant upgrade for a team with championship ambitions, bolstering the pass rush and forcing opponents into mistakes.

  • Next Steps

    Week 6 could be pivotal — if the Bengals keep struggling, Hendrickson’s name will only heat up. Will the Cowboys make a move? If they do, the entire NFL will be watching.

    Jones and the Cowboys’ front office are ready — waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

    Legendary Drew Brees Praises the Performance of the Saints' Rookie RB, the Perfect Replacement for Alvin Kamara
    Can you believe it? The 2025 season is turning into a nightmare for the New Orleans Saints' running back corps, with superstar Alvin Kamara suffering a severe injury to his knee and ankle right in Week 12! Kendre Miller is also out for similar reasons, leaving Saints fans in a panic: Who will save the offense? But don't worry, a "hidden gem" rookie from the 6th round of the draft has stepped into the spotlight, turning Kamara's absence into a golden opportunity to shine brilliantly – and he's even received "high-flying" praise from legendary Drew Brees! Things didn't go as planned: Kamara was expected to "revive" under head coach Kellen Moore, while Miller awaited an explosive season. But injuries struck, opening the door for this young guy – a former college star with all-time records in rushing yards and touchdowns at Kansas. Initially, he was predicted to just sit on the bench, even being a "healthy scratch" in the first few weeks of the season. But when Kamara went down, he was thrust into the lead role, and oh boy, his performance is making the entire NFL take notice! It took a few weeks to "warm up," but this rookie has improved day by day, earning trust from Moore. His career-best game? A sweet 84 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers! His touches skyrocketed: 12 times against the Falcons (7 rushes, 5 receptions), 17 times against the Dolphins (14 rushes, 3 receptions), then exploding with 20 opportunities in the upset win over the Buccaneers (19 rushes, 1 reception). Not only an efficient rusher, he's also a "golden shield" in the passing game – catching 16/18 targets for 100 yards this season, and spectacular blocks that save quarterback Tyler Shough from pressure! And now, the "blockbuster" reveal: That's Devin Neal, the rookie RB who's turning the Saints into a "youth whirlwind"! The Saints' 2025 draft class is truly a "gold mine," with Neal emphasizing that through his impressive performance. With no timeline for Kamara's return, Neal will continue to be used more – which isn't a bad thing at all, as he's making the most of the opportunity that Miller never got! But the peak? Legendary Drew Brees, the icon of the Saints, has lavished praise on Neal during a Netflix broadcast! Brees emotionally shared: "Devin Neal has shown incredible consistency in his rookie season, and he's proving himself to be an important part of the Saints' future – a true talent that reminds me of the golden days!" Praise from "King" Brees not only elevates Neal but also ignites hope for Saints fans: Could this guy be the "perfect replacement" for Kamara? With his role growing larger, Neal is the shining bright spot, turning opposing defenses into a "joke" and pushing the Saints closer to the playoffs! Don't miss out – the Saints are "transforming" thanks to the new generation, and Neal is the "explosive trigger"! Follow now for the next drama in the 2025 NFL!
