CINCINNATI -- Any tranquility the Cincinnati Bengals were enjoying ahead of the NFL draft was disrupted on Wednesday night.

Roughly 24 hours before the first round starts on Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that defensive end Trey Hendrickson had requested a trade. After Hendrickson set the franchise record with 17.5 sacks in 2023, he is looking for a bit more long-term security than Cincinnati has been willing to offer.

Hendrickson is under contract through 2025 after signing a one-year extension worth $21 million last year, and as Schefter reported, the team is not looking to move him.
