That’s the risk you take to try and win it all and that’s still decent sack numbers.  It’s the up to the team to develop the young guys to help him so that in three years they are not relying totally on him and their young edges will
Still be on rookie deals.

Offer 2 years of guarantees and see if he bites. I feel it’s worth the risk because you gambling he will still be productive if not the same all pro he was.

I hard disagree there.

To me, at that point, Trey can show up late, play out the final year of his deal, then walk next year.

We have to remember that Trey is a liability against the run.  The only reason he would command a big money extension is if he's producing at an elite level as a pass rusher.  If he's putting up average starting edge sack numbers, why pay him $32 mil a year?  If he's putting up Sam Hubbard sack numbers, he's not even worth Sam Hubbard money because of his run defense.  

Reality is, this is probably a playoff roster this year, but it's not a win it all roster unless a lot of guys step up big.  Yes, we've seen it happen here before, but this is not a roster you go all in this year and risk the next 2-3. .

I love Trey as a player.  I do hope he retires here.  But the team should have outs if he can't perform as an elite pass rusher if he wants elite APY.
