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.
I haven't seen people complaining about cutting certain players or asking them to take a paycut when they signed a contract. Why is this? Because said players weren't producing so it makes sense. That's no different than having a player ask for a raise and seeing his production and what is the league set value. If hes inside of that value with his request than it makes sense and it's not unreasonable to side with the player.
