Section 8(a)(i) Renegotiations and Extensions: of the CBA. Trey can’t get a new contract until 12 months from the date he signed an extension.

This is correct. Trey signed a 1 year extension through the 2025 season on July 27, 2023. So, no renegotiation can be finalized until July 27. However, that does not prevent a trade and subsequent renegotiation with the new team after July.

I don’t blame Trey nor his agent for wanting more money/years/guarantees and this trade request is basically his only leverage.  I expect he may hold out of OTA’s and maybe training camp, but will play this season.

The chance that the Bengals make a trade is slim and none.

My main concern is how all these trade request moves are affecting locker room morale and our much vaunted culture.
