And everyone said he was a product of the line he played on in New Orleans, and he wasn't a "Real" All Pro because it was the PFWA (or whatever) instead of the AP
The Bengals took a chance on him and gave him a 60-million-dollar deal
2021- $19,976,471
2022- $11,976,460
2023- $18,000,000
2024-$15,049,256
2025- His deal calls for 16 million, they upped the offer to 28 million
I think he owes the Bengals a little grace. I'd offer him a two year, 64-million-dollar deal, and if he turns it down then so be it. Let him go somewhere else for a second round pick.
What did Carl Lawson sign for with the Jets that year? Maybe someone knows off the top of there head. But I wasn't the biggest fan of his and definitely thought seeing the stats that Trey was better than him at the time.
As someone else has said it's the guarantees that are the hold up at the moment. The Bengals need to just go for it and give him all but what would be the last year guaranteed in my opinion. I think Trey holds up and data backs that up but if he does fall off significantly or has an injury I dont see them cutting him before the final year.
