The Cincinnati Bengals have entered minicamp with only one veteran holdout. It is sack leader Trey Hendrickson, who is looking for a new deal from the team.
This situation has stretched most of the offseason, with the Bengals allowing Hendrickson to seek a trade.
When asked about whether the situation was a distraction, quarterback Joe Burrow was very frank about it, saying, “Of course” it’s a distraction.
Is Trey Hendrickson's situation a distraction?
