"You might not think of them as legitimate playoff contenders, but they are only one season removed from appearing in the NFC Championship Game. I think coach Dan Quinn will need to try his hardest to convince [Trey] Hendrickson to come in and help improve the struggling Washington pass rush."
"Hendrickson led the league in sacks for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024. He's got a relentless motor and proven production that would benefit almost every organization. The Commanders could inquire about what it might take to bring him into the fold, but there are also concerns that cannot be overlooked."
The Washington Commanders need edge rushers and have significant salary cap space to address the need. Trey Hendrickson, the projected best defensive player in free agency, represents a tempting target after his contract dispute with Cincinnati. While analysts like Aaron Schatz view Washington as an ideal landing spot for a potential bounce-back, concerns exist. Hendrickson led the league in sacks for two consecutive years but spent most of last season injured. At 32 during the 2026 season, his age combined with injury history raises questions about long-term value and whether the substantial salary cap investment justifies the risk.
