Y'all thought just because of reports of resuming conversations that they were gonna be close?
It's not surprising the Bengals FO essentially said something along the lines of "how bout another...couple mill? That will be plenty to get it over the line, huh?!"

(I realize the above isn't reported to have happened, just that it was a pretty lowball offer yet again)

I do find it interesting how the Brown family is willing to make Chase the highest paid non-QB offensive player in the league and Higgins (vastly) overpaid to be a WR2 (8th largest WR total contract, 10th highest WR AAV, but only around 30th in overall production), but reportedly aren't even coming close to the likes of Hunter, Garrett, and Watt to make Hendrickson among the highest paid pass rushers.

Hendrickson is (going to be) harder to replace on this team than Higgins from a production standpoint.

Higgins contract is laced with incentives, and he is 5 years younger than Trey. Tee is a great team friendly deal with outs. Trey wants us to tear up a deal paying 16 million of which not 1 dollar is guaranteed and pay him 100 million with 80 million guaranteed. Sorry, but if bengals 

The FO could say see you in Cincy after you pay your fnes Trey and FYI Trey will will franchise you in 2026 and maybe 2027. That would be a hard line stance and they have not done that yet.
