This is where I think we've all been fooled into believing the Bengals lies and or seeing things purely thru a FO lense. Let's just say he wants 35mil per year for 3 years. A 3yr 105mil dollar extension. I think we can all agree 2 yrs guaranteed is very unlikely and Trey almost certainly wouldn't expect it or ask for that. But even if they gave him that with 70 million guaranteed why can't the Bengals give him some more money now in a signing bonus and create a void year. Spread the money out with the full 35 cap hit only in his final year when you can release or restructure him in his final year. I get money over values talent for the team but does it really for the fans as well?
