I won't speak for others, but I value Trey and see no need to attack his production. I just think Trey is being unreasonable in his request for the t eam to ignore his final year of his contract. I think it is unreasonable for our fans to ignore he is underc contract as well.

I think fans say if we lose Trey, we will lose 17.5 sacks a year. That is the worst case scenario though. In reality whether it is Ossai, Murphy, Stewart or Sample, someone takes his snaps. If they get 8 sacks, we lost 9.5 sacks. That is a lot, but can we get productio from other positions like DT or LDE to compensate for Trey;s absence?

It is a gamble no doubt and I hope they work it out. But, I think Trey is the issue and not the FO at this point in time. They made an offer, it appears their final offer and Trey said no ending negotiations. Like others have said, the FO has nothing more to say so why would they call Trey or his agent.

At this point Trey will either report and honor the existing contract or not.
