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.
He signed a 1 year extension when he had years still left on his contract. Not exactly demanding a brand new deal. The timing of which always seemed a bit odd to me but we don't really know what was said or promised. Perhaps Trey is being the bigger man hear not throwing people under the bus by name but was promised so he's just trying to hold people to they're WORD.
