The San Francisco 49ers were the team most interested in Cincinnati Bengals tight end Trey Hendrickson.However, Price is currently a first-round pick.
The NFL trade deadline is just a day away, and the San Francisco 49ers' top need could become a bigger priority over the weekend after defensive end Michael Williams tore his ACL against the New York Giants.
The big deal is going to get henderson
The Bengals are looking for a first pass rusher.
Prior to the injury, the 49-year-old was on the sidelines after Nick Boussari sprained his ACL during the year and was unable to play until the injury was covered.Additionally, Surer host -er Bryce Bryce is currently missing another week with an injury of his own.
But, Williams' injury is a big blow to the 49ers in both the short and long term as they lose both starters, while the development of the first round pick will now take a hit.
San Francisco has been watching the trade market for pass rushers even after acquiring defensive lineman Keion White from the New England Patriots, and that move makes even more sense now with the Williams news.
At 6-3, the 49ers are firmly in the playoff race, so winning moves are still possible despite the heavy injury burden this season.But who could they be looking for?
One name that has gained a lot of traction is Cincinnati Bengals Defensive End Trey Hendrickson.Before the Bengals' 47-42 loss to the Chicago Bears this week, Jay Glazer reported that Cincinnati is now willing to listen to star pass rushers before the deadline.
"Initially they said no," Glazer said of the Bengals listening to trade offers for Hendrickson on Sunday."And then in the last couple of days, the GM group said, 'Hey, you better look at this, because now they're telling us yes.'
Sit at 3-6, this may very well become a fact through Sunday.
The 49ers were the team that showed the most interest in transferring Hendrickson, so it looks like they aren't afraid to make a splash.However, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, Price is the best option right now.
"The Bengals still have the first pick this season in Trey Hendrickson Deal Deal Dealing. Prices are still high right now.
Hendrickson is a free agent at the end of the year, so the first-round pick for the rental comes from the 49ers.But Rusini also said teams will ask for a price cut at tomorrow's deadline.
According to the source, "Trey Hendrickson is becoming a free agent at the end of the year. The teams who have questioned the trade, the Bengals hope Cincinnati will reduce their price to make the deal by 4 p.m. tomorrow."
The 49's need help.And according to reports, they are actively looking at many trade candidates.However, if it's Trey Hendrickson, it looks like the price will be high.
