The Atlanta Falcons have struggled mightily to find a reliable sack artist for over a decade, but a recent trade request from Cincinnati Bengals star Trey Hendrickson could provide a solution. Hendrickson, a three-time Pro-Bowler and reigning sack leader with 17.5 in 2023, has requested a trade due to lack of financial commitment from the Bengals. The Falcons, who possess a glaring need for an EDGE rusher, would be wise to pursue Hendrickson aggressively. The 29-year-old former Saint has ties to Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot, who played a role in drafting him to New Orleans in 2017. With their ample draft picks and healthy salary cap situation, the Falcons could easily swing a deal for Hendrickson and grant him the contract extension he seeks. Acquiring Hendrickson would be a major coup for the Falcons, giving them a proven commodity at their biggest position of need.
