Probably true but let’s say in ‘26 he drops off to only 10 or so sacks then 7 or 8 in ‘27. You are still getting good production and with the cap constantly going up it is not all that that bad of a deal.
You have to take these hits to keep great players - going cheap because of the fear that they might be over-paid 2 or 3 years from now means losing great players. This is what has held this team back from being consistently great - don’t be afraid to go for it now.
And Trey is a huge priority not because he’s the only non-turd on D (which is pretty much true) but because he is an elite NFL pass rusher who led the league in sacks. Very difficult to replace a player like that.
