4. Trey Hendrickson
The odds of the New Orleans Saints keeping Hendrickson may be shrinking by the day. Â The Saints are in a very tight cap situation. They’re going to have to make some tough choices this offseason, one of which could be letting Hendrickson walk.
Hendrickson is coming off a monster breakout season in which he tallied 13.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, and 25 hits. He led all pending free agents in sacks and was second in the entire league in 2020. If the Saints let him walk and don’t franchise tag him his phone will be quite active in free agency. Hendrickson could potentially pull down a deal upwards of about $10 million a year if not more.
His only red flag could that he has had availability issues in every other season except the last one. Whether or not this year is an anomaly or sign for what’s in his future. Also, Gruden and Mayock have to decide if his 13.5-sack performance is one he can maintain.
