The Cincinnati Bengals’ decision to permit Terry Hendrickson to seek a trade has shocked fans. A fan took to X and wrote, “Joe Burrow hogging all the brain cells in Cincinnati”, while another fan wrote, “Joe Burrow watching the Bengals try to pay his receivers by cutting the spending on defense”.

Cincy Jungle’s writer Patrick Carey took to X and wrote, “My biggest fear is seeing the Bengals refuse to change and getting left behind with Burrow in his prime. Wasting a talent like Burrow would be something I couldn’t come back from as a fan of this team.”

Many fans have also spoken about how they would stop supporting the Cincinnati Bengals if they end up not utilising Joe Burrow to his full potential. A fan wrote, “If they waste Burrow, I’ll be done as a fan. Already witnessed that play out with Palmer.”
Another fan wrote, “If he leaves after this contract due to this nonsense I’ll have to call it”.

But this is not the first time that Joe Burrow has been dragged into the drama of his team.

Fans Have Blamed Cincinnati Bengals For The “Underutilization” Of Joe Burrow

Recently, at the WWE RAW which was being held in Cincinnati, famous WWE wrestler Logan Paul addressed the crowd and said, “You guys waste talent. Just look at what you did to Joe Burrow.”
A month ago, Joe Burrow was also in the news for asking his team, the Cincinnati Bengals, to pay their players more; this included Tee Higgins, Trey Hendrickson and Mike Gesicki.
Joe Burrow appeared in an interview on the Pardon My Take podcast and spoke about how the team can offer more money.
As per ESPN.com, Joe Burrow said on the Pardon My Take podcast, “You could convert some of the money to a signing bonus, which will lower the cap hit. You can push some of the money to the back end of the contract. That lowers the cap hit. And then when you get to the back end of the contract, you can restructure it and convert it to a signing bonus. You can also just take less money.”
Fans are waiting for Joe Burrow to react on the situation regarding Trey Hendrickson.
