Whose side on you on? Trey, the Bengals or none?

I'm on the Bengals side.

Like other people have said, so many of his sacks game in two games last year, he's not great against the run, and players seem to fall off after age 30.

I'd say the only compromise I can think of is to give him an incentive laden contract and, if he denies it, say "ok, feel free to not sign and then see what kind of deal you can get in free agency."

If he threatens to sit out after three games so he gets credit for a full season, say "ok, good luck in finding an organization that will sign you to a big deal knowing you have that kind of ethic, even in this league."
