Peyton Hendershot

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Cowboys are trading TE Peyton Hendershot to the Chiefs for a 2026 conditional seventh-round pick.

The Cowboys planned to waive Hendershot today but instead will unload him to the Chiefs for a late-round lottery ticket in the 2026 draft. A 2022 undrafted free agent, Hendershot appeared in 25 games for Dallas but was not much of a factor in the box scores. With the Chiefs placing Irv Smith on the IR today, the team is likely viewing Hendershot as a replacement to ensure depth at the tight end position.
