Potential Patriots Trade Target Ends Contract Standoff With Reworked Deal

The New England Patriots have expressed openness to making a significant trade before the 2025 season begins, but one possible option is likely off the table.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced Monday night that they reached a reworked contract with Trey Hendrickson. He’ll now make $30 million this season, a $14 million raise over his prior deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

A preseason hold-in, Hendrickson did not practice with the team while seeking a new deal. The star pass rusher claimed he wouldn’t play this season without a new contract.
