My kinda player.

I disagree. You protect your franchise QB at all cost. Filled a HUGE hole with a top 5 LT. Now, on to filling other holes.

Not top 5. Top ten perhaps.

The longer this takes, the cheaper the compensation IMO. I've been one of the board members begging for an edge upgrade but with what we've done so far in the draft, I'm happy with no Myles Garrett or Trey. I think the combined for 1 sack against us, and we beat them both

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Elite?? DPOY type??? Trey Hendrickson??? C'mon man!! Don't get me wrong, but this guy is exactly another Ryan Kerrigan type... really good, but that's where it ends! In fact, since he used the metric, guess how many times Hendrickson was in the conversation for the DPOY award over the last five years?

(Once... last year... knowing that he wanted a new contract)

Also notable: The NFC conference has the best left tackles over the last five years, with players like Trent Williams of the San Francisco 49ers, Jordan Mailata of the Philadelphia Eagles, Christian Darrisaw (when healthy) of the Minnesota Vikings, and Tristan Wirfs of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers being highly regarded. (Tunsil is among the top 5-10, but he would be a teammate) I'm saying something without actually having to say it.

OK, THAT'S THE ON-FIELD STUFF...

I would love to add him, however, the business end becomes much more complicated and concerning. It all begins with his age, born on December 5, 1994 (age 30). On average, NFL defensive ends begin to lose their edge around the age of 25. Elite defensive ends, and I'm giving him that status for comparative purposes, generally begin to lose edge around age 25 to 30. The decline in defensive performance is gradual, and rare for free agents to still be trending upwards at that age. The player's defensive performance takes a steady decline following their age 25 season and takes an even sharper decline following their age 30 season.

Remember, he's 30 already and looking for a lucrative long-term deal, so what might he be looking for?

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer estimates that Hendrickson wants a deal that pays him like fellow edge rushers Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders and Danielle Hunter of the Houston Texans.

Crosby is 27 at 3 years, $35.5 million per year, and Hunter is 30 at 2 years, $35.6 million annually, and they rank third and second behind Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns, respectively.

"Meanwhile, the market has materially changed. Hendrickson may not be the sort of war daddy pass rusher such as Myles Garrett and Nick Bosa, who both demanded market-changing deals," Breer wrote.

In combination, his age, the trade compensation, and his contract demands, what sort of deal would be comfortable for the Commanders? To me, the biggest impediment is his age. Two or three years ago, I would have made this deal without hesitation, but today, although I believe that in 2025 he will deliver, it is the 2026, 2027 seasons that give me pause.

One idea I saw was newton and a 3rd for him

Here is the proposal, that plus paying him
