This is the part that is so hard to understand about the Bengals front office.  The sooner you get the deals done. the less you spend.  It seems like there is a new highest paid WR, QB, DE, CB nearly every year.  This is instant inflation.  

It is great wanting to keep this offense together, but if the defense isn't addressed (more than extending Trey) we will likely miss the playoffs again this season.  

Your concern has some validity. But 2 sides to the sign them for a better deal now debate. Let's take Trey, we gave him a fair contract, but then with 2 years remaining, he wanted a raise. Now 1 year remaining and he wants a raise.

If a player outplays his contract, they may demand a raise so in the end what is gained by the team? Save dollars early and then pay later or not pay up and have a disgruntled star.
