It's semantics if Cincy guarantees 100% or 80% of year 2, either way he is here 2 years.  With a raise this year and siginig bonus, I can't imagine Cincy is guaranteeing much of a 3rd year. So, Trey's 3rd and final year is him getting say for example 10M (his camp) or 4M (Cincy) when he's cut.  They have far too many young players that will need signed..I know we keep saying this.  

There has to be compromise. Trey initially wanted top 3 money, big guarantee, and length. He’s settled in Cincy. It’s his last big contract. I get that. I get it that if you don’t ask for it you can’t get it. But again historically the Bengals have been awful in contract negotiations. Trey is not as good as he thinks. He’s average in run defense. But Trey and his agent haven’t been realistic. They don’t have the leverage they think. The bottom line is Trey should have taken less money and 3 years guaranteed.
