The Green Bay Packers pursued a trade for 2024 NFL sacks leader and Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson before acquiring defensive end Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys for two first-round picks and defensive lineman Kenny Clark, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
“The Packers are among the teams that called and engaged the most with Cincinnati on a potential trade for Hendrickson this offseason,” Rapoport added. Rapoport also indicated that Clark would have been involved in a trade with the Bengals as well.

The Bengals are scheduled to face the Packers in an NFL Week 6 game October 12 at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field.
Hendrickson’s revised deal with the Bengals included a $14 million raise.
Rapoport reported in August that the Bengals were listening to trade offers for Hendrickson. Jordan Schultz reported that the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts were among teams showing interest.
In July, Parsons was ranked in an ESPN survey among the top five NFL edge rushers. Hendrickson was not included.
