I find NFLers increasingly live double lives: what we hear about through/what they say to the media (i.e., the optics), versus what's really going on. That's not specific to the Bengals either. That's just the norm league-wide. With Trey, I think we still don't know the full story. He wanted a trade... from a team that he loves? He wanted a raise... before one could even be negotiated? There are clearly gaps in our understanding of the conflict, and until we know what they are I find it's tough to take a position one way or the other. 

That's a fair take. You're right, it's a convoluted mess. For what's it worth, I typically side with players. Their career could end in a flash and the league and owners rake in money hand over fist. This scenario got in my crawl, but I can admit I may have rushed to judgement. I do love the relentless effort Trey gives on the field.
