NFL insider hints that Bengals are on the verge of re-signing Trey

[Trademark]

This is what I'm guessing. The Bengals posted up a video calling out the pundits for saying that that couldn't re-sign both Tee and Ja'Marr.

There's been stuff out there over last week that Trey wants to be here and the team and his agent were talking.

Also, saw where the Colts want him.

As cap space of other teams dry up, so do his options.

From what I hear, the Colts offered him a lot of money, but they will not give up a 1st round pick for him. The Bengals will not take less than a 1st. Trey is too old to sit out a year and expect to come back to a huge contract. So, he's going to be here. They'll get it worked out just like they did with Tee and JaMarr

....and if they get Trey extended, that's a pretty good FA in my book. You signed a triple crown winner, the best 1a/2 WR in the league, and Trey would obviously be the NFL sack king. That's a really good off-season without considering the external FAs they signed, Gisecki, and any future signings. I was getting really itchy about the delay in getting Tee and Chase done....so my initial F grade is already up in the high C, low B range.

And then there's rumors like this: Trey considering sitting out the season. Seems like nonsense.

'Earlier this month, Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz reported that the Atlanta Falcons and Washington Commanders were among teams that could look to acquire Hendrickson in a trade with the Bengals.'

So far looks like we have the same non play off team we had last year just at a higher price tag. We need to nail the draft, which ae are mediocre at best. Ext to joe and chase. Bad t ack record. How many 1st round line men never made it. Waisted drafts. Who Dey. Hope they have draft party this year

Agents start rumors like that as a negotiating ploy.  If Trey comes out and says that he is willing to sit a year then I will believe it

That's not a rumor, that's Fowler talking out of his ass.

"the same non-playoff team". I get it. 

No two seasons are the same. The Bengals started off 0-5 in 1 score games last year. Win just 1 and they're in. I doubt they start 0-5 in 1 score games again, because it's just not the norm. 

Quicker starts. Finishing games. That's all subjective to preparation and effort. They could just as easily start the season 6-0 with the squad they have. That's not unreasonable to say. 

They have players coming back from injury and they have the draft. 
They have the weapons core for at least 4 more years and the elite QB. If they end up with a shitty Oline...well, welcome to Bengals fandom for the last 5 years. 

I wouldn't say SB bound but i also wouldn't say lost season, even as we sit here now. 

The team is pretty much the same, but it's really not because teams have different seasons every year with the same players.

I think it's a lazy argument.  The bengals made significant coaching changes.  If coaching really was the problem then why not bring back the same players?  Let's see what they can do under (theoretically) better coaches?

I like how vague emoji's and vague comments like Who Pey are hints hints that Trey is on the verge of signing.

I think the coaching changes could help.

But, it's tough mental gymnastics. We can blame coaching, but people also point to the defense playing much better the last 7 games.

The team found ways to lose too. Fumbles. Bad defense. Bad offense against the Patriots. Missed kicks.

Trademark posted it, so it's not going to happen now

If true stinks for Trey. But, he signed the contract. In my opinion, Bengals do not want to trade Trey and only way they will consider it is if an over the top offer comes in.

I agree, they should not trade a huge piece of our defense we need to build around in 2025 and 2026.
