Apparently he has a house in Florida but I'm sure he has some arrangements in the area here as well:

Trey said his wife is a Doctor at Cincinnati Hospital. I expect he does alot of his training in Black Sheep Preformance.

Guess it is good to hear he is working out possibly.

Back to back sack leader is working out where ever he is located.

This thread is long lol. I wanted to share some light and thoughts...

When Trey signed the one year extension, he admitted to doing so to avoid the Franchise tag. Trey is intimating that the FO implied to him, that they would take care of him. Nothing was in writing. There was trust there. Trey saw the FO take of Burrow, then Chase/Higgins. Trey assumed similar value deals.

I think Burrow, Chase, and Higgins were awarded great contracts because they are in their prime. Simply put, Trey is aging and most front offices will use age as leverage to low ball athletes. The Bengals FO is no different. I think Trey feels some sense of betrayal there. Most athletes do not anticipate retiring from their sport unless injury provokes retirement. Trey does not want to retire.

With that said, Trey's options are to retire or accept the low ball offer then sign elsewhere after this contract expires. I don't see much other choices.

It's not really that you have better things to do. It's that you can't do it. 

Typically, trolls don't answer questions, they just post stupid stuff over and over.

Wait...you mean he wants a long term contract (from the beginning) because he has roots here and it's where he wants to be?

Fer shame.

There you go again complimenting board members. You are very objective.

I do think with 30+ million in cap space it gets resolved with Trey at some point. 

But as far as his options nobody should want this. I'm not suggesting you or anyone else wants this but may just be pointing out this is what the Bengals are going to give him as options. But nobody should want the Bengals to operate like this because it's bad business. There's a reason teams cave so quickly to trade demands. Football is a business and a large part of that is player relations. We shouldn't want disgruntled players on the team for the message it sends to players on the team and around the league. If a player is disgruntled either pay or trade him for the best interest of the team and player. Should be a pretty simple talent evaluation to decide what direction they would like to go.

Give Trey 31+ million in 2025 and 32 million in 2026 and becomes a Bengals ambassodor immediately in the 2025 locker room. 

Money heals bad feelings every time

Avoiding the franchise tag?  Trey still had 2 years left on his contract when he signed the 1 year extension so there was absolutely no talk of a using the franchise tag at that point.  Trey was only 2 years into his first contract with 2 more left to go.  Also, Trey just came off of an 8 sack season so he wasnt even close to being in the top 10 DEs at that time in regards to sacks.  This claim about the Bengals tagging Trey when he still had 2 more years left on his contract and was #30 in sacks makes no sense.   

The reality is Trey is the one that went to the Bengals after only fulfilling 2 years of his contract wanting more money while coming off an 8 sack season.  The Bengals gave him more money including an 8 million dollar signing bonus but did so by adding another year to Trey's contract.  This is why he is signed for 21 million for the 2025 season.  He doesnt like this deal now because he went from an 8 sack season to back to back 17.5 sack seasons and screwed himself in the process for being greedy.

What good is trust when your DE wants to redo his contract every year?  Trey was only 2 years into his 4 year contract before he demanded a raise.  The Bengals gave him a raise yet Trey comes back again after that season and wants another raise and to redo his contract again when he wasnt even eligible.  The Bengals told him to come back next year and they would take care of him. The question is why would the Bengals offer Trey 28 million?  Where did that figure come from.  When Trey asked for a raise before last season, did he ask for 28 million per season and the Bengals said come back next year and we will take care of you?  And the Bengals then offered the 28 million after the season was over like they said they would but now Trey wants even more money than the Bengals agreed to last year?  The Bengals could have done exactly what they said they would do.  Trey could have wanted 28 million last year and the Bengals said we will give it to you next year and did exactly that.
