Specifically, he said ""Three years ago, I began to ask for a long term contract with guaranteed money. ..."It was communicated with me that we'd get something done this year."
I don't know what is said, of course. But I've been concerned that someone in the front office gave him the impression a year ago that he would be well taken care of this year, and that Trey is now dealing with feeling lied to. I'd be pretty ticked off too if I felt someone was manipulating me last year, and I went out and led the league in sacks trusting what was said, and then they reneged.
True, still we don't know what Trey was offered and what he turned down and what his agent was telling him to do.
I heard he was offered 32 mil per year at one time, that is twice what he is being paid now. He just wants more years is what we are hearing.
Trey wanted to get extended last year or be traded the day before the Draft when it was impossible to extend him. Crazy shit man.
