Joe Burrow is going to bat for Trey Hendrickson, as he has for so many of his Bengals teammates already. The star pass rusher, who has already requested a trade, feels disrespected by the organization. Despite consistent top production in recent years, they don’t appear interested in extending his contract.
The Bengals’ star quarterback has used his stature this offseason to campaign on behalf of his teammates for their paydays. Many believe that his public pressure on the front office played a role in them signing not just Ja’Marr Chase but also Tee Higgins to long-term contracts.
