The dude received a nice extension and doesn't even want to finish it out. His agent must have convinced him that his sack total warranted a new deal. I know that is a speculative statement, but this news seemingly came out of nowhere. What could have prompted this other than there is more pieces of pie to have with the expanded cap.
If he had a down season i doubt he would be giving money back either

For sure, we know that doesn't happen. I'd love to know how much of this new is the agent's influence or Trey's own decision-making agency as an individual.

I’m not even sure what Trey is wanting. He is already one of the highest paid at his position. He is really really good at getting after the quarterback, but he isn’t a top 3 or 4 impact DE in the NFL.
He isn’t Aaron Donald or Chris jones. I know Donald is retired but he was the best player on his team. You look at guys like Micah parsons and TJ watt who take over games alone. Idk, I like Trey a lot, but this is odd.

Agents work for the player and not the other way around. This is Trey Hendrickson.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Of course agents work for the player but I offer there has to be players who let the agent take charge of decision making.

I get it. But with treys current contract he can't threaten to leave and play for a competitor

The only way this happens is to get a truckload in draft capital.
There's no other reason for the Bengals to part ways with the 2nd leading sacker in the league who is under contract for 2 more seasons.
I would assume this announcement is coming primarily to draw interest for draft picks this weekend.

Trey asking for an extension (again), and threatening retirement when he isn't even eligible for one due to rules within the CBA can't go ignored in all this. They couldn't even meet his demands if they wanted to. So what is he threatening them for? He's a bum and we don't need the cancer.
Hoping they realize the damage this does to the "culture" and make a move today. Some things just aren't worth the trouble. He and his mindset isn't.

I vaguely remember seeing quotes from coaches/media that Trey "always goes about things his own way." Well, his way here was not the correct way to go about it.
I slept on it last night and woke up even more pissed. Why right before the draft? You just signed a 2 year extension now want more? We can't even negotiate this clowns extension because it's not outside of the 12 month threshold as outlined in the CBA.
Just an absolute dick move by a guy that was typically a fan favorite. Overnight he has suddenly became one of the most hated.

Exactly....and he was extended with a raise after an 8 sack season. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to jump on the FO for this one. I'm not upset over the Reader deal either. There's a good chance he misses a significant portion of the season, and there was NO ONE on the roster to hold the fort down until he came back. They've certainly fouled up things in the past, and I've put em on blast for it. Not this time.

JMO This seems out of left field. This may be purported by negotiations with Reader and Tee and the Bengals FO history. His agent spewing to him we’ve got to do something as we are screwed with your deal as you reach a tougher age to get a great contract. Last year your best year we’ve got to make it happen.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

How I see the conversation going.
Trey's Agent (TA from now) on behalf of Trey:
Hi. Trey would like a longer extension and more money.
Bengals FO:
We just extended Trey last year and he's already one of the highest paid at his position.
TA:
Yes but he had a career year and he's looking for more money and some security.
BFO:
That's nice but we just extended him. We'll discuss it next year (speculation).
TA:
Trey requests a trade if you are not willing to extend.
BFO:
A trade? No.
TA:
Will you not even consid.....
BFO:
No.
TA:
With no trade or extension Trey is considering retirement.
BFO:
That's nice. We'll see Trey in training camp. *disconnects*
TA leaks the situation to Shefter as they have no other recourse but to try and cause trouble in the press. The Bengals FO will of course ignore this completely.
SUMMARY: This is a nothing burger.

I agree about the nothing burger. Your hypothesis sounds very plausible too. The leak to Shefter is what really irks me.

He’s definitely a weird dude. I remember thinking as much when he just sat on the bench while the rest of the team celebrated the AFC Championship win.
He’s also skipped OTA’s the last couple years.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday, he's kind of a lone wolf.
