I think this gets done.  Once finalized, almost all the risk is on the bengals. Trey can afford almost next to no fall-off for the contract to not age poorly.  I really understand the reluctance of the bengals on this one.  

Of course they got it wrong with whit, but they also got it wrong with Geno, and to an extent AJ Green (who should have aged nicely).  Green fell off a cliff after 30, but also coming off injury.

That is the reality of signing star players to contracts in 2025.  Trey has been adamant that this contract must contain guaranteed money for year 2. As it is right now, all the risk is on Trey's side
