The need to give him 3/$100M, wiping this year's remaining deal and guarantee the first two years. Anything less is telling the two time sack leader that he's nothing more that a "hired hand". If they found the creativity to give often injured Tee Higgins a "big boy" deal, they can at least do the same for lunch pail Trey.

I agree, just comes down to 3rd year guarantees.  If say only 10M is guaranteed they can save face if there is a drop-off and he gets his raise he deserves this year.  They need to position the team to resign key players in 2 years and keeping these core players has a lot to do with keeping morale for future FAs/picks that play for Cincy.  We don't need to honor Mayor Springer by the owners daughter trading barbs.
