Has it changed for 31 year old DE's? If so, how much? Let;s see how the Steelers pay Watt and the guaranteed portion before we pass judgement on the Bengals FO. We have no idea what was offered. We do know right now Trey gets older daily and right now he only has 15.8 million guaranteed. The Bengals would be crazy to give him a 15 million dollar bonus to take him to 30.8 million in 2025, then pay him 32 to 35 million a year also in 2026 and 2027.

Also, let's not forget he already pocketed a 10 million bonus 2 years ago in addition to his yearly salaries. Yes still underpaid, but the extension should be more about 2026 and 2027 from a team perspective, problem is Trey has his own perspective and neither side will get what they want.
