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

Everyone with an ounce of sense knows that you build around the lines. Trey is an awesome DL, who deserves to be paid like his contemporaries. Even JaMarr Chase came out and said that Trey deserves the money he's looking for. The Bengals are still attempting to run a Professional Football Franchise like a small business and that tactic just doesn't work. They need to keep the star players, win a Championship or two, so that outside dollars pour into the team. But, it's going to take some spending on their part to get over that hump.

This is hyperbole, but I get the same vibe from the Bengals FO that I get from the Pittsburgh Pirates ownership when a player is really good and it's like "Ahhh crap, now this jerk is gonna want to get paid like he's some sort of hot shot."
