Joe Burrow is feeling nothing but confident going into the 2025 season and he isn’t afraid to boldly back it up.

That said, Bengals pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson remains in the middle of what's become an ugly contract standoff. Hendrickson is in the final year of his existing deal, and the two sides seemingly aren't close to agreeing on the amount of guaranteed money that would be attached to an extension.

Burrow did it with public pressure about the Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins contract extensions not all that long ago. And now he’s doing it again ahead of final cuts as the Bengals formulate the final 53-man roster after Mitchell Tinsley’s two-touchdown breakout in the preseason Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders.
