Bengals Front Office Needs To Get With It.

There is no way anybody can just say that they are both going to play for Bengals.  They both say they are not going to play for the Bengals.  

I don't think they can get Trey to play now, and he just wants out.  Many teams are lined up to trade for Trey and pay him, and Bengals may have to do the trade. It may not be bad either considering how much Trey is asking. However jerking the #1 draft pick around with Mike Brown double standards contracts that other teams don't pull, is throwing off trading Trey.  It could be possible to sign the #1 draft pick, and trade Trey and get something for him, plus dump salary and move on.  

Going into July 1st, it is very possible neither ever play a game for Bengals in 2025, and that leaves Bengals pretty weak at defensive end.  So Bengals front office needs to get with it.  Mike Brown and Family have only made both mad enough to never play for Bengals.  Mike Brown is cheap, and the cheaper of the two to sign is the draft pick, not Trey wanting 30 million or whatever. I like Trey, but they might want to sign the draft pick, Trade Trey and move on.  

The NFL has several top DE's that are unsigned because they are asking much more. Watt, Parsons, Whitworth are all asking for record breaking contracts.  Bengals who just shelled out for Burrow, Chase, Higgins record breaking contracts probably not in position to have the highest paid DE in NFL.  So sign the #1 draft pick and move on.  Bengals players have said they don't blame front office over Hendrickson contract, but Bengals players do side with the #1 draft pick and say front office is wrong on him. 

If they sign the #1 pick DE, and trade Hendrickson, might be the only move and the smart move. There is an NFL free agent from Detroit Lions who could maybe be brought in not the expensive to help the D Line if they sign the Top Pick and trade Trey. Isn't the goal to go back to Super Bowl, not to see Mike Brown be stubborn and have both sit out and no chance of Super Bowl. 

It's wishful thinking to say both are playing for Bengals in 2025. That is total denial of how bad the contract negotiations are going.  I want Bengals back in Super Bowl.  If neither play, I can hear fans complaining about Golden when the defense is awful, but I will be blaming Mike Brown and Family, not Golden. 

With their offense, they do not need the best defense, but they can't continue to have one of the worst defenses either. 

GO BENGALS

Double standard? The guys picked before and after Stewart have the language in their contracts.

Explain it please….
