Is Bradley Chubb behind Door No. 2?
So NFL super insider Adam Schefter updated the status of free agent edge rusher Trey Hendrickson shortly after 1 p.m. today.
Schefter took to ESPN TV to say Hendrickson has not gotten the money offer he’s seeking and he is actively talking to many teams.
Sadly, Schefter didn’t mention the Buccaneers. But he did reference the Cowboys and Eagles. Joe has seen social media chatter that the Bucs have talked to Hendrickson, as have the Jaguars. Hendrickson lives outside of Jacksonville and Schefter said last week that he would love to stay in Florida.
The Bucs desperately need edge rush help.
Hendrickson will be expensive and he’s coming off hernia/abdominal surgery at 31 years old. Bradley Chubb, 29, who was healthy all last season with 8 1/2 sacks, remains on the market and, man, the Bucs could sure use the 2025 Dolphins captain.
Joey Bosa, 31, also is on the street after 5 sacks in 15 games with the Bills last season. Joe is leery of Patriots free agent K’Lavon Chaisson. The 2020 first-round pick needed six years and three teams to finally have a good season.
