Click through Schefter and note there is zero mention of such a trade.

Edit: Although re-reading it, you were responding to my comment that it is "possible that Tee doesn't sign the tag until the end of preseason" and you're response to that, which you highlighted, was "Tee has no choice." But clearly he has a choice to not sign until the end of the preseason and he still wouldn't lose any game checks.

I don't want to keeo going back and forth, but Tee has to sign by July 15th or it becomes automatic anyway and report to camp which starts normally the end of July.

Players do not get game checks until the regular season starts.

Yeah tagging Chase next year would be horrible in the view of players. Lead the league, get no contract. They would show they just hold and hold a player with no relief. Sure, the Bengals pocketbook wins, but the team would just muddle along with Burrow, angry stars and middle tier players. Not winning anything like that.

If you make this into an us versus them situation it won't end well.

This is a team sport after all.

Why would anyone want to create division amongst a team?

It weakens the team.

By telling Chase we want to hold him hostage and not pay him what he's worth that creates a toxic environment and who would want to play here in that environment?

On a larger scale this applies to US politics as well. People need more common sense and need to work together instead of letting the media divide us.

Group dynamics are interesting. In general division weakens any team and that team will get outcompeted by other teams.

Expressing your opinion is not going to insult anyone's intelligence. Unless you feel that your opinion is educated and there is a lack thereof in the counter.

I will say that nothing divides a Team worse than a few players viewed as the the elite within the Team. That is not just toxic, but tumorigenic. Further fuel is added to the fire, when displeasure from the elite affects the Team performance. We should have been ready for the Patriots game last year!!!

As related to politics, the prevalence of hubris and pomposity coupled with egocentrism is one of the main culprits in the divisions. This is not the forum to discuss politics, so I will not further the discussion. 

There is no shortage of criticism directed towards the ownership and front office of the Bengals, historically and currently - which is fair. But this situation we are in now is beyond ridiculous. I feel that criticism of both parties is fair.

Everything but.. However from the volume of posts I can see how one might be inclined to think that there must be some exciting news related to Trey Hendrickson in here.

A large contingent constantly bashing on the FO.......
A large contingent arguing about Trey's value......back and forth.......
A large contingent running into the thread to tell all those fighting back and forth what deal just got signed that will affect Trey trade value.....and all three contingents arguing about it back and forth

Pretty much a bunch of repetitive posting. sharing nothing of value at all.

Kinda like my response to you I suppose.

The comment on twitter was:

"BREAKING: The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to trade star Trey Hendrickson to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2025 3rd round pick. The reigning sack leader heads to Green Bay where he’s expecting to sign a long term deal. (per@AdamSchefter"

But, it appears to be some random, made-up, fake-news post. As one person pointed out, Adam Schefter apparently has no such information on his feed. ... And it was posted 8 hours ago

[samhain]

I don't buy it. This team does some dumb shit, but they are also as stubborn as can be. No way on the world they let him go for a 3rd.

The Bengals are not going to trade Hendrickson for a 3rd round draft pick.  They would get a 3rd round comp pick if they kept him until his contract was up.   Hendrickson only costs the Bengals 16 million to keep him this season so it makes no sense to trade him for a 3rd round pick.

It seems to me Trey and his agent overvalued his worth across the league.  The Bengals now might not have the money to pay him their original offer since they expected to lose him and used 7 million of their cap to bring Ossai back.  If Hendrickson had signed the Bengals offer do they spend the 7 million on Ossai instead of looking at a deep draft?  Trey's agent might have screwed Trey over on this one.  Trey may have to lower his price for everyone including the Bengals offer unless he wants to play for 16-18 million this season and try again next year.

I was watching a show and one mentioned the Eagles was the best place for Trey. Rosen is not afraid to give up a first round pick and they also have a llotof picks they could add to the #1.

I hope we keep Trey. Amother broadcaster acted like if we got a 2nd or 3rd for Trey, we should take it.

Is our FO's job to help others win or us win?

More important than the comment itself, is who wrote it.

I'll give you a hint: it wasn't Schefter.

Yet, Chiefs won a Super Bowl after Chris Jones was so upset, he missed training camp and at least one game.

Maybe they will play harder if they are pissed. 

It is not like these tags are minimum wage. The tag for. WR is over 23 million this year and will be higher next year. Please tag me, I will run through brick walls for 23 million in one year.

I see nothing wrong with criticising the Bengals organization. They have given fans many reasons to do so over the years.

I disagree on what you said about having a few elite players on the team that are viewed as elite having a toxic or negative effect on the team as a whole.

The best thing the Bengals have going for them is they are very much a team (almost family-like). The culture is good.

Within a good team culture everyone is celebrating everyone else's success and nobody wants to see others fail.

I thought the top players on the Bengals handled the failure as best as they could last year. Burrow and Chase for example could have blamed the defense in post game interviews--but they would always say stuff like, 'yeah, but we could have closed the game out earlier (pointing to a late drive they failed on)'. (not a word for word quote but that's the type of thing they would say).

I agree that more humility needs to be used in todays discussions. There is too much name calling and strawman arguments going around that furthers the divide. It takes a concerted effort by all parties to be civil and talk things out rationally. Things get too emotionally charged. I remember in school we had classes on forming arguments and arguing one side or another and I didn't like it. You were taught not to concede and discuss openly. You were taught to butt heads. It's part of the culture and the media reinforces it.
