Bengals' Pass Rush Dilemma: Crosby, Hendrickson, and Draft Picks

0:00It's March 6th, here's your NFL news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. Rumors are swirling about a potential trade for Las Vegas Raiders star defender Max Crosby, but the Cincinnati Bengals are not likely in the mix. Still, their name keeps popping up in the chatter, especially now with Bengals' edge Russia Trey Hendrickson drawing trade interest too. As Crosby's market heats up, it could spark a bidding war for Hendrickson, pushing him toward the big contract he wants. Meanwhile, this might create challenges for the Bengals as they look to bolster their outside pass rush, or even re-sign Joseph Ossai. The impact on Cincinnati could be tricky, with a possible trickle-down effect on the roster plans. They are losing a key all-pro pass rusher, who is also the top free agent available, and they might not even get a compensatory draft pick for it. Even if the Bengals had brief interest in Crosby, their cap space could handle it before any extension. But they are not about to part with the high draft picks it would take to land him.

1:00Looking ahead, the team plans to lean on first-round picks, Miles Murphy and Shamar Stewart. Early market moves show adding veteran help to the rotation is getting pricier by the day.
