Even though, Trey Hendrickson and the Cincinnati Bengals remain at odds when it comes to reaching a contract extension, the All-Pro defensive end felt it was more important to be with teammates as they prepare for the upcoming season.

The star pass rusher spoke about where negotiations stand after moving from a holdout to a hold-in. Plus, Joe Burrow is already in midseason form.

In many ways, Trey Hendrickson was the one reason that the Bengals’ defense didn’t fall off a cliff last season. The Bengals have seen numerous key free agents like Jessie Bates walk out the door in recent years, players who were key members of a solid Bengals defense that allowed them to go on multiple deep playoff runs earlier this decade.
