He just realized that he signed a bad deal well under market value, and wants something closer to what other high end pass rushers have been getting this offseason (Josh Allen, Brian Burns, Danielle Hunter, etc). Who he should really be mad at is his agent, not the team.

This makes much more sense and makes me feel better about the entire situation, especially Trey Hendrickson.

He is a football player after all and that is what he concentrates on. His agent let him down, by having him sign that first contract in the first
place and then going public with the trade request. Just stupid on the agent's part. As much as I don't like Tee's agent, he hasn't done something 
this dumb, at least not yet that I know of.

He's averaged 13 sacks a season over last 3 years. That puts him in top 10 DE's for sure. He needs a 6 or 7 million a year raise and I don't blame him for wanting it. And like is being said that's not the Bengals fault it's his agent's. 

That being said I just think it could have been handled better by both parties.
