September 22, 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs are far from having issues on the defensive line, but after both Tershawn Wharton and Derrick Nnadi left in free agency, it perhaps is not the stalwart unit that it previously used to be over the past few seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the franchise drafted Omarr Norman Lott to replace Wharton and Nnadi, there are still question marks looking onto the exterior of the line.<\/p>\n<p>George Karlaftis is an excellent edge rusher, and Mike Danna is certainly solid. But as a tandem it does not rank as one of the more terrifying duos in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly since former first round pick in 2023, Felix Anudike Uzomah has done little to justify his status as the 32nd overall pick two seasons ago, garnering just 2.5 sacks despite playing in 34 games.<\/p>\n<p>So, unless Kansas City has a supremely confident coaching staff, they could well consider a move for All-Pro edge rusher, Trey Hendrickson, who has widely been touted as a trade candidate this offseason as he continues negotiations with the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n<h2>Hendrickson Could Be A Perfect Fit In Kansas City<\/h2>\n<p>Trey Hendrickson\u2019s contract issue came to ahead earlier this offseason when both parties agreed they would attempt to mutually seek a trade for the 4 x Pro Bowler.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, this \u2013 almost comically \u2013 is the second time in back-to-back seasons that Hendrickson has asked to be traded from Cincinnati.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Bengals three-time Pro-Bowl DE Trey Hendrickson has requested to be traded from Cincinnati, per league source. Hendrickson is due to make $15 million this season, and is looking for more long-term security than Cincinnati has been willing to offer. pic.twitter.com\/PDNKTEiKII<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1783247380462100918?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Trey Hendrickson statement today to ESPN: \u201cNo communication has taken place between my camp and the organization post draft.

However, considering that the team will likely cut right tackle, Jawaan Taylor, at the end of this season, they will gain another $20 million in cap space to work with \u2013 all of which could go to the current Bengal.<\/p>\n<p>It is certainly not a clear, easy-as-pie move in any regard, but given what the Chiefs saw the Eagles accomplish on the defensive line first hand in February, Kansas City may well feel that it is worth the investment.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Arwas Daniel Arwas is a sports writer who covers the NFL for Heavy.com.\u00a0Daniel began his career in sports writing in 2022 and has covered the NFL and college football for Gridiron Heroics\u00a0and\u00a0The Hammer.
