While Trey Hendrickson reported to Bengals training camp, he admitted that “Things are exactly the same” in his contract dispute. Mind you, the veteran pass rusher is in the building and on the field, but he is not practicing. He has brought his holdout in-house, now orchestrating a hold-in, hoping for a new deal.
As least one veteran Bengals beat writers predicts they will make something happen with Hendrickson. It won’t be what either side wants, no doubt, but he believes there is enough incentive going both ways to ensure they do what is necessary to prevent a distraction that has an impact on the season.
