We hold all the cards here. It sucks for Trey, but it's the nature of the business.
He's 30, so he's wrong if he thinks that other teams are going to throw big money at him and he's sonly hurting himself if he doesn't sign because then we can just franchise him twice after this season and he has no long-term stability.
