That would only lessen his annual salary then, would it?

How appreciative he was towards the Bengals by letting him workout on his own and miss some of meetings to help out his wife with their newborn. Then he talked about his faith and God... I found my faith again after retiring from the service making his latest statement not sit well with me.

Loved that interview and confirmed why he was one of my favorite players and men on my team.

He did a 180 here. Hope he makes up for it if we do extend him, but this was dumb how this was handled.

But I just don't see that outta Trey, he's full-go, full-time on that field. Maybe he DOES deserve more money, he IS our pass rush afterall, and these elite pass rushers are getting paid ridiculous amounts. Had he not signed that recent extension last year, I wouldn't fault him at all. But he did, and he should stick to his word and honor it.

All true, I bet he plays his ass off. He always does, this won't change that. The only way he falls off is because of injury or age.

Same. No reason for this after already signing an extension, that is the problem here. We will see how this goes forward.

Yeah, it pissed me off too.

I'm not sure how it all works, but I think they can agree in principle, but not on paper. Someone else may know for sure.

Happy to correct something:

Trey cannot renegotiate to increase the Salary to be paid during the original terms of the contract (now 2024 and 2025) for a period of 12 months after the player’s most recent contract renegotiation.

So….technically Trey can add years on to his… https://t.co/EkS1BPLfon

I would add a couple more years to his contract.  Something tells me its not a couple more years added to his contract that he wants.  He wants another raise.

Thanks for the clarification bro. I'm not the best versed in contract stuff.

I feel like they'll make a handshake deal to give him a respectable bump when he's eligible.  

It' was a silly idea to make this public when he and his agent did.  He def outplayed his contract., but he also signed it after an 8 sack season, a continuation of which would not have warranted a pay raise.  He went for security instead of betting on himself.  Understandable, but also impactful on his earnings.  

Players betting on themselves is always risky.  Bird in the hand and all.  Trey is an essential part of the team, but that doesn't change the negotiation unless the team wants it to.
