Trey a ton of money as well. This is nothing like it used to be like around here.
You are correct, the only ones for Trey to blame is his agent and himself for not taking the dough in the first place.
No one knows what was offered. That's the complete truth no one knows so let's not assume he turned down money. Tee switched agents and the deal got done. That's not because Tee's original agent was bad. That agent wouldn't take the deal because NO OTHER team in the league would offer the deal the way the Bengals did. He can't take the deal if he's trying to get his client a deal that all other 31 teams would give. Chases agent just took the deal because Tee wanted it.
The only assumption I would make about Trey is that he's already taken the Bengals very team friendly deals in the past. That would point me to the fact that he's most likely not being unreasonable.
