Maybe team is waiting to see what Steelers offer their 31 year old former sack leader. They should have similar demands.

I hope we do something, but I think we are being unrealistic to expect Bengals to rip up a contract they agrred upon 2 years ago. Blame his agent, nit the Bengals for being good business people.

As far as reputation until recently we rarely cut players or made them take a pay cut. MB was known for being very loyal. I ask you, what did it do for us on the football field or attracting players to come here. FA's will come here if you put a winning team on the field and won't if you don't. They will come if you give them a fair contract, not the rest of the team.

If Trey is demanding 32 million in 2025, if I am Katie I tell the agent when you get serious about an extension call me, but right now we are not close to being on the same page.

If Katie and the team had their mind in the right arena, they would have already set Trey up with an extension prior to the market busting deals that came out after the conclusion of the league year. It's not Trey's fault that other teams are paying more for guys who did less than him.
