TREY HENDRICKSON NEWS

4 possible landing spots for Saints free agent DE Trey Hendrickson New Orleans Saints defensive end Trey Hendrickson broke out at the right time, setting him up to be one of the higher-paid 2021 free agents.

FEBRUARY 4, 2021 • USATODAY.COM

Piles up 13.5 sacks in 2020 Hendrickson totaled 25 tackles (22 solo), 13.5 sacks, one pass defended and a forced fumble across 15 regular-season games in 2020.

Impact After racking up just 6.5 sacks through his first three seasons, Hendrickson more than doubled that output with 13.5 in 2020. That robust total was good enough to tie with Aaron Donald for second in the NFL. Set to become a free agent in 2021, Hendrickson could look to parlay his big season into a new contract -- with New Orleans or elsewhere.

Impact Hendrickson was forced to miss New Orleans' wild-card win over the Bears due to a neck injury, but he'll be back in action after just a one-game absence.

Questionable for Week 16 Hendrickson (neck) did not participate during Thursday's practice session, and he is considered questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Impact After collecting two sacks and a forced fumble in a narrow loss to the defending champion Chiefs last Sunday, Hendrickson now finds himself in danger of missing his first contest of the year. The 2017 third-round draft choice was limited during Tuesday and Wednesday practices, but he now enters the Saints' Christmas Day matchup against Minnesota with a cloudy status given a DNP during Thursday's session. Hendrickson is enjoying a breakout 2020 campaign, having recorded 12.5 sacks and 24 QB hits after posting career bests of 4.5 and nine in those respective categories entering the season.
