Pros and Cons of Lions Trading For Trey Hendrickson
The Detroit Lions have less than a week to acquire help on the edge via a trade. With the trade deadline set for Nov. 5, time is running out.
Many expect the Lions to make a move of some sorts, but the scope and scale of said move remains to be seen.
One target that could be in play for the Lions is defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who is viewed as a potential piece that could get moved after the Cincinnati Bengals’ 3-5 start to the season.
Hendrickson has been a big part of the Bengals’ pass rush over the last several seasons. He arrived in Cincinnati in 2021 after beginning his career with four seasons in New Orleans. The defender has notched double digit sacks in three of the last four seasons, with the only exception being the 2022 campaign in which he had eight sacks.
He was originally drafted by the Saints in the third round of the 2017 Draft, which coincides with the tenures of Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn on Sean Payton’s coaching staff. As a result, the Lions’ head coach and defensive coordinator have some familiarity with the talented edge rusher.
This connection, paired with Hendrickson’s relentless play style, makes for a perfect pairing. NFL.com’s Kevin Patra saw as much in a recent piece predicting ideal trade fits.
“If Raiders star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby is truly off the table, the Lions should chase Hendrickson,” Patra wrote. “Detroit presumably has institutional knowledge of the player, given that head coach Dan Campbell and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn were both part of the staff in New Orleans during Hendrickson’s time with the Saints (2017-2020). He plays with the type of motor Campbell loves and would fit in the locker room. With seven sacks and 36 QB pressures so far this season, Hendrickson has continued to be a weapon on the edge.”

Hendrickson is under contract through the end of next season, so the extra year of team control could drive up the asking price. If acquired, the Lions would be on the hook for the proration of his $14.8 million salary this year and the $15.8 million salary he is owed next season.
The veteran defender also carries a cap hit of $18,666,668 next season, which would further implicate the Lions who have handed out several long-term extensions over the last calendar year.
Because of the value placed on premium edge rushers, the Lions may be required to dole out multiple draft picks or potentially a player in order to acquire Hendrickson. The asking price could also be impacted by the result of the Bengals’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders this upcoming weekend.
However, Hendrickson would immediately be the top option for the Lions on the active roster this year, and a potential pairing with him and Hutchinson next year would put the team among the best in the league in terms of edge pairings.
If the asking price is right, this is a trade the Lions should absolutely make. It would give them an immediate boost, and one of the league’s premier edge pairings in 2025.
(CBS DETROIT) — Detroit may soon have ducks, chickens, and bee hives if a proposed amendment to city codes passes through the city council.
The amendment would change city husbandry and beekeeping laws to allow residents to keep up to eight ducks, chickens, and four beehives on their property.
Residents who potentially participate in this new rule would have to keep the animals in an enclosure in the back of their property. The enclosures would also be required to provide shelter, protect the animals from predators, and provide fresh water.
“I don’t know think this would be the right environment for it at this moment in time,” said Luke Hakim. “Why would you put chickens and farmlands when we have outskirts?”
According to Keep Growing Detroit, the city already has over 2,200 farms. Supporters of the amendment believe updating the ordinance will help alleviate food insecurity.
But council member Mary Waters wonders where these birds and bees will go to gallivant.
“The chicken crosses the street, maybe it gets hit by a car,” Waters told CBS News Detroit. “Listen, the place is too compact to properly raise those.”
Before it can be adopted, the amendment still needs to pass a fiscal analysis and a majority vote in full council.
“There’s some people who already made it up in their mind that this is a way to get their own food or eggs,” Waters said. “Which may be true, but I’m going to need them to have some open space.”
Halloween edition: Rivian owners can choose new futuristic dashboards
Rivian owners got treated to a special surprise for Halloween — new dashboards featuring their favorite movies and shows from the ’80’s.
Mystery lovers looking for spooky fall vibes should check in with local author Frank Anthony Polito. “Haunted to Death: A Domestic Partners in Crime Mystery,” is out now and set during the Halloween season.
“Domestic Partners in Crime” is a cozy mystery series about a queer, millennial couple who renovate old houses in metro Detroit on their hit reality TV show and continue to stumble onto dead bodies along the way.
Book three in the series finds our heroes, JP and PJ, working on a house that, legend has it, is haunted by the ghost of a beautiful heiress who fell from the third-floor balcony on Halloween night 25 years ago. Seemingly supernatural encounters, locked rooms and secret passageways tease the question of whether the house is truly haunted, or whether the long-ago death was actually a murder.
Polito, a Lambda Literary Award winner, based the lead characters on himself and his partner, Craig. Like the protagonists, the two are also an author and actor who lived in New York City before appearing on HGTV’s “House Hunters,” where they bought a 1920s Craftsman house in a historic Detroit suburb and began renovating it themselves.
Polito says “Haunted” may be the last book in his series.
“The first book, ‘Renovated to Death,’ did really well,” he said. “There was a lot of publicity and a lot of push by the publisher to get it all over Instagram and send out review copies and set up interviews. And then the second book, ‘Rehearsed to Death,’ came out a year later and … not so much of a push for it.
“When I recently got in touch with my editor to tell him that I had finished writing book four, he informed me that sales for book two were not as good as they hoped they would be, and that if the sales for book three did not increase comparatively, then they wouldn’t be able to offer me the contract. They’re not willing to take a chance.”
Polito says he’s now “in limbo” to see how “Haunted” performs.
“It’s a little disheartening,” he confessed, “because (book four) is already written and I feel like I have these characters that I’ve been developing over the course of three books and I’m finally just really getting to know them, and getting to know the town, and coming up with all these other ideas for stories.”
Still, he says there are possibilities with other outlets.
“What’s really great about this cozy mystery community is that it’s very supportive,” he said. “I see messages and emails from other writers, wishing me luck and saying, ‘If it doesn’t end up getting published through Kensington, you should try this publisher or this editor because this has happened to other authors who were able to continue their series.”
“Haunted to Death” can be purchased at amazon.com and wherever books are sold. For more on Frank Anthony Polito, visit facebook.com/frankanthonypolito.
