Give him a contract extension with a huge upfront cost then just give him the years he wants with the last year either being a team option and/or heavily incentive-laden. So unless the Bengals gave him a 1 year extension and said take it or leave it, I don't understand why there's no compromise (unless it's Trey that doesn't want to compromise)
I agree with Rfaulk and you on this one Phil. Pay him big upfront money while he is still a top pass rusher, if he wants more years in his extension
that is fine as long as he is paid as a rotational pass rusher later on in his career.
