I don't have the knowledge of skill to fix an HVAC system, but I know when I'm being overcharged when the estimate gets changed after the repair because the tech fixed more units than the other techs. Sure, everyone wants to be paid for their talent, and I do not begrudge him playing hardball when it's contract time. He signed a contract, then wanted an extension the Bengals gave him willingly, then he wanted another extension and more money when he wasn't even eligible. Now he wants a new contract, while still under his last extension, and turns down a 14 million dollar raise the organization offered him. Cry me a river. He wants a new contract every year. If they give him 32 this year, he'll want to re-sign for 50 next year. He's immature and greedy. Full stop.
The BS is the righteous indignators, righteously indignating.
Tell you what. Go out and get a job, something you're really good at, and get paid about 25-40% less than others that do that same job and stop being mad at people that have the talent to play in the NFL and want to be compensated for that talent.
Yes, it was Trey's fault he signed for so much less in the beginning and then signed the first extension. His agent is a dummy. Hindsight is 20/20. That doesn't remove the Bengals FO from their blame.
