Sometimes in business tough decisions have to be made. But to me this decision for the Bengals is simple, collect a team's ransom or have Trey pay on the existing deal. Or offer him a better deal, but maybe not the 30+ million in wants.

Trey's options are play for the 15.8 million in 2025 or attempt to get more, but none of us were ever paid our worrth (to us employer was always srewing us). Or Trey can find a. team willing to give the Bengals their asking price and give him the raise he desires.

Trey has options, but the team has control.

No team is going to give a 1st and a good player for a 31 year old DE that they then have to pay a huge contract to.

With a late 1st, you can get a DE that makes much less than Trey is asking for. That player likely won't get you 10 sacks though.

At his current salary, Trey is going to hold out all training camp at minimum. And maybe part of the season.

Jadaveon Clowney is still out there.
