Cincinnati Bengals star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson is not showing up for mandatory minicamp as he seeks a new deal.

The Cincinnati Bengals will be without one of their top playmakers on the defensive side of the ball during this week's mandatory minicamp. Star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson won't attend the team's mandatory minicamp as he seeks a new contract, according to CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones.
