In all of the news yesterday, I missed this tweet from Terry McCormick:<\/p>\n
Now, that tweet is a little convoluted. Does that mean that the Tennessee Titans are in on Trey Hendrickson, or that Hendrickson is in on the Titans? The Titans have a ton of available money, so it makes perfect sense that Hendrickson would be in on the Titans.<\/p>\n
The Titans could certainly use Hendrickson. They have a desperate need for a pass rusher, and he is the best player available on the market. He had back-to-back 17.5 sack seasons in 2023 and 2024 for a terrible Bengals\u2019 defense. He had a down year last year after suffering a core muscle injury that forced him to have season-ending surgery.<\/p>\n
It sounds like the reason that Hendrickson hasn\u2019t signed yet is that he is holding out for a huge payday:<\/p>\n
$10 million is a pretty big gap. Hendrickson will turn 32 during the 2026 season. Coming off the injury he suffered last season, he might be forced to take a deal with less money than he is expecting. If the Titans could get him on a shorter-term deal with most of the money being paid in the first couple of years, I would be on board.<\/p>\n
Should the Titans sign Hendrickson? If so, what are the parameters of the contract you would be willing to offer him?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In all of the news yesterday, I missed this tweet from Terry McCormick: Now, that tweet is a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":805288,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2061],"tags":[7,6,526,394,2415,47985,2413,2416,23210,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-805287","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-tennessee","11":"tag-tennessee-titans","12":"tag-tennessee-titans-depth-chart","13":"tag-tennessee-titans-free-agency","14":"tag-tennessee-titans-news","15":"tag-tennessee-titans-roster","16":"tag-tennessee-titans-rumors","17":"tag-tennesseetitans","18":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116206998514905825","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=805287"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/805287\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/805288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=805287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=805287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=805287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
