Howie Aims to Secure 2025 Super Bowl by Sending Irresistible Trade Requests to Bengals to Bring Trey Hendrickson to Philly

Philadelphia, PA – June 12, 2025

Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman is going all-out to lock in a Super Bowl LX repeat, reportedly crafting irresistible trade offers to land Cincinnati Bengals’ star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson in Philly, sources told ESPN. The move is designed to cement the Eagles’ 2025 title run.

Hendrickson, 30, ruled the NFL in 2024 with 17.5 sacks, leading the league, alongside 46 tackles, 6 passes defended, and 2 forced fumbles in 17 games, per Pro-Football-Reference.com. His four-sack outburst against the Raiders and 3.5-sack tear versus Pittsburgh earned two AFC Defensive Player of the Week awards, securing First-Team All-Pro and his fourth straight Pro Bowl.

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

The Eagles’ pass rush, led by Haason Reddick’s 11 sacks in 2024, needs a spark after Brandon Graham’s retirement and Bryce Huff’s trade to San Francisco. Hendrickson’s 77.0 career sacks and relentless drive would supercharge Vic Fangio’s scheme, per Bleeding Green Nation.

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

Fans on X are hyped: “Trey in Philly? Super Bowl’s locked!” (@EaglesNation). Others caution: “A first-rounder’s risky!” (@PhillyFanatic). Roseman’s history of bold trades—Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown—fuels confidence, per PhillyVoice.

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