The team has him under contract. If he does not show up the fines will add up quickly, money he can't earn back reducing his 2025 income. Maybe Trey needs to look closer at the Bengals offer, it is the only option he has at this point.
A first round pick in 2026 has a second round pick value in 2025. If it is true that Bengals wanted a first round pick in 2025 draft, any trade for 2026 draft picks would have to be TWO first round picks.
The recent articles about trade proposals all involve second rounders in 2026 - which suggests his trade value as a third rounder in 2025.
As a matter of interest, the trade scenarios for Myles Garret earlier this year suggested multiple first round picks:

Maxx Crosby suggested trade value 8 months ago was also two first rounders: https://athlonsports.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/maxx-crosby-potential-trade-value-revealed-amid-lions-rumors
Why wasn't Trey getting similar trade value suggestion as Crosby? I read at best one late first rounder, with most suggesting mid second rounder in 2025. Now it is even lower.
Food for thought as we are discussing contract value for Trey.
