If they trade him they take close to an 8 million dollar cap hit for money they have already paid Trey and they lose a good pass rushing defensive end. It would be hard to make up for that with a draft pick unless it is a really high one. The cost for the Bengals to trade Trey would be high therefore the compensation needs to be high as well.
You also have to question what kind of precedent does that set if players can keep demanding contract changes year after year because they want more money than they agreed to. BJ Hill is in the final year of his contract, maybe he should threaten to retire too before the season. Maybe Rankins decides his one year contract he just signed isnt enough so he refuses to play as well. Were does it end if you allow this to happen? Hendrickson has only played 3 seasons for the Bengals so far and this is the third time he is seeking a large contract from the Bengals. The guy hasnt even completed his first contract he signed with the Bengals and yet he is going back to the Bengals a third time. Its crazy. I dont see how anyone can defend that type of behavior.
