The Cincinnati Bengals are now exploring the trade market to solve their ongoing impasse with star defensive end Trey Hendrickson, but some around the NFL reportedly feel that it's already too late.

On Sunday, reports surfaced from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that the Cincinnati Bengals were opening up trade discussions on star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson and the Bengals have been unable to come to terms on a new contract this summer, which has opened up the door to immense speculation about his future with the franchise.

With Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals' contract talks stalling out, Cincinnati is listening to trade offers, and among the teams that have shown an interest is the Indianapolis Colts. However, whether it be the Colts or another team, what Ian Rapoport and other insiders have made clear is that getting a trade done won't be easy.
