Trey told ESPN he is not reporting today. He will start his $50K mandatory fines the first day of camp he misses. It can't be waived by the team as in the CBA. Also, the fine money goes directlly to the team and is removed from the cap money spent.
As for his missing mandatory camp, that is close to $100K in fines, but team can choose to waive it.
The point is this holdout may cost him a lot of money. I am sure he is banking on recouping with a new contract.
As for guarantee under his contract, in 2025 Trey has no guaranteed money in his existing contract. If Bengals chose to trade him, they would only have the signing bonus portion of his deal as dead money. They would pick up almost 16 million in cao space.
I hope we sign him, but I also hope it is a fair deal for both parties. It sounds like the guaranteed portion is the stumbling blcok according to Shefter.
