Trey Hendrickson - who claims he's been lied to by a Bengals front office that promised he'd be taken care of - wants to get his. And that is nothing new ... and that has nothing to do with Joe Burrow.

Despite this, Burrow has publicly said the Hendrickson situation is a distraction. In the past, he’s lobbied for the Bengals to get the Hendrickson deal done, just like he did for Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Cincinnati Bengals face a contract issue with Trey Hendrickson. Joe Burrow takes responsibility for the unresolved situation. Hendrickson seeks a top-tier salary reflecting his performance. His holdout threatens the Bengals' 2025 season.
