CINCINNATI \u2014\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Joe Burrow recognized\u00a0Trey Hendrickson’s\u00a0importance during his media address on Tuesday.\u00a0The Bengals quarterback knows\u00a0it’s\u00a0a possibility\u00a0they don’t have Hendrickson this season.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0frustrated\u00a0defensive end is not participating in\u00a0mandatory\u00a0minicamp this week amidst his search for a new contract.<\/p>\n

“Obviously\u00a0it’s a possibility,” Burrow said. “It’s not one that I think would make us a better team. So we’ll see what ends up happening. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I wish I had an answer for you, but we’ll see.”<\/p>\n

Burrow is spot on\u00a0in saying\u00a0the Bengals won’t be better without Hendrickson, in fact,\u00a0they\u00a0track to be much,\u00a0much\u00a0worse. The pass defense has fallen off a cliff\u00a0without him over the past two seasons, as evidenced by the numbers below:<\/p>\n

OFF field<\/strong>: #32 success rate allowed (55%), #32 completion rate (69%), #32 EPA\/attempt (+0.16), #32 passer rating (106.2), #32 pressure rate (25%)<\/p>\n

ON field<\/strong>: #8 success rate allowed (44%), #11 completion rate (64%), #19 EPA\/attempt (-0.00), #8 passer rating, (86.9), #12 pressure rate (35%)<\/p>\n

If Cincinnati is serious about putting a championship-level roster around its best quarterback in franchise history, they’ll find a way to get a deal done with Hendrickson.<\/p>\n
