Who's defending Trey here?
The Bengals should do what's best for the Bengals; Trey is an aging player coming off an near elite season. If the FO can get a good deal for him then they should pull the trigger.
They would have an additional 12 million because of Trey's base pay no longer being used but they would still take a cap hit for the signing bonus they have already paid.
If I pay you $1000 dollars to work on my yard and I give you half of the money up font but then you decide you want to go work on someone else's yard because you can make more money, you cant claim I saved $500 because you didnt work on my yard. I am taking a $500 loss because I have already paid you part of the contract. In Trey's case he has already been paid a portion of the last two years of his contract which is close to 8 million dollars. The Bengals would be taking a large cap hit in a trade.
