2025 - Give 8 million dollar signing bonus - 
2026 - 28 million with 16 million guaranteed
2027 - 28 million with none guaranteed

Cap hit - 2025 - No change stays at 15.8 million]
2026 - 30 million with 16 million guaranteed
2027 - 34 million and none guaranteed

In this sceanrio, if Trey keeps performing he can earm the entire contract. He gets an additional 24 million guaranteed with the extension minimum

I think this is fair as team could not extend him if they choose, then tag him for less than 28 million in 2026. If he does not sign something, he has no more guaranteed money after 2025. At 31, that is a huge risk for him. But, if he believes in himself, he can earn an addtional 64 million the next 3 years if he maxes out the contract.

I would guess Bengals would have some type of bonuses based on availability as well similar to Tee, if he misses time, he loses money.

Yeah I agree with those numbers for the most part.  As it pertains to guard, I think the key number in those two scenarios is his guaranteed money this year.  They have some money to use even with the rollover money , draft picks and PS.  The only reason not to full important needs pre draft would be I assume it's being earmarked for Trey's raise to get him signed to the extension.  Otherwise, there's no reason not to sign Risner to that cheap of a deal.

don't you think it is interesting that last couple years Risner is just sitting out their late in Free Agency, we are not the only team needing guards and every team has seemed to pass him over, just wondering if there is something we just don;t know

we could sign the best guard in the league..would not make a damn bit of difference until that line plays as a cohesive unit..hopefully the changes made @OL coach will help
