0:00With the NFL today, March 4th, Jerry Jones says that Dallas Cowboys are ready to spend big and break the budget as NFL free agency kicks off next week. Legal tabtering starts Monday, March 9th and the New League year begins Wednesday, March 11th at 4 p.m. Eastern time. One top target buzzing around is Bengals Pass Russia Trey Hendrickson. Now an unrestricted free agent after Cincinnati skipped the franchise tag. Hendrickson has a market value around 2 years for $50 million according to SpotTrack. He's 31 years old and could be a smart pick-up for Dallas to boost their pass rush. ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum even predicts the Cowboys will land him. Last season, Hendrickson played just 7 games due to injury with 16 tackles and 4 sacks. But the year before that in 2024, he led the league with 17.5 sacks, his second straight year hitting that mark, and 4th time in 5 years with double digits. The Cowboys plan major contract restructures to free up cap space.
1:02He's a cheaper option than someone like greater star Max Crosby, who would cost draft picks too. Hendrickson posted an emotional farewell to Cincinnati fans and the organization, thanking them for 5 great years of highs and lows. Now everyone waits to see if Dallas becomes his next home.
