If Trey only got the first year guaranteed, he'd be getting about $68m LESS guaranteed than Watt, or about only 37% of what Watt got.
I don't think that is "compromise" so much as just giving up and accepting being vastly underpaid compared to the market and with no real future security at all.
Didn't Watt extend for 3 more years, so 4 total? It appears Trey may only extend for 2 years or 3 total.
So obviously a 40 million dollar difference immediately.
If Bengals give Trey a 20 million dollar signinging bonus, then guarantee the 16 millio he is at 36 million guaranteed of 36 million year 1 so at 100% guarantee in 2025.
Then in year 2 if they give Trey 35 million and guarantee 25 million in year 2
Then in year 3 give him 40 million with no guarantees, overall looks like this.
2 year extenion for 95 million with guantees of 61 million guaranteed.
I don't think that would be a bad deal for Trey if it were offered. Again Trey's starting point is no guarantee so goes from zero to 61 million with chance to make another 50 million f he stays great.

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
