Cincinnati Bengals’ star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson tops the 2026 free agency rankings as per The Athletic. He is projected to sign with the Joe Burrow’s Chicago Bears. He is a dominant pass rusher, and the Bears need help with their defense. However, Chicago faces significant cap space challenges. They may need to make financial adjustments through player cuts or contract restructures in order to secure Hendrickson. He may not even be franchise tagged by the Bengals.
