It' was a silly idea to make this public when he and his agent did.  He def outplayed his contract., but he also signed it after an 8 sack season, a continuation of which would not have warranted a pay raise.  He went for security instead of betting on himself.  Understandable, but also impactful on his earnings.  

Players betting on themselves is always risky.  Bird in the hand and all.  Trey is an essential part of the team, but that doesn't change the negotiation unless the team wants it to.  

Sounds good Samhain. I understand wanting a longer contract, but don't understand signing the short one in the first place if that
wasn't what he wanted. It was very fair at the time. If Trey wouldn't of signed the contract and continued to have the season that 
he had (17.5 Sacks) he would of been in a great position with something to say.

I also think they have a handshake deal in place and when the time comes, he will be extended. Just dumb by the agent and Trey
letting it go public.
