Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson: "There's no way I would be able to sit there in the house and hear the practice whistles while also being a distraction."

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been in contact with defensive end Trey Hendrickson to start training camp. The subject of Hendrickson’s contract standoff with the Bengals and his not reporting to camp and practice on Wednesday came up during Burrow’s media session. Burrow revealed that he’s been in contact with Hendrickson.

McLaurin was vital to Jayden Daniels' rookie of the year campaign last season. His All-Pro 2024 saw him lead all wide receivers in red zone touchdowns (10) and his 2.39 yards per route run ranked 20th among wideouts and stood as a personal record. However, he's slated for free agency in 2026 and has only $2.8 million in guarantees this fall.
