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.

He's not 31, stop trying to "age" him. He won't turn 31 until late in the season. As a matter of fact, I played adult football at the Semi-Pro level. I had my best season ever at age 32. Take that for what you will, but I also played DE, and Guard when needed, as well as DT in a pinch or even DT and ILB when needed. 

Think about that. I had my best season at age 32, and I still worked a physical job every day of the week. Imagine what a pro athlete who also has good genetics can do past age 30.
