I'd rather have a better shot at winning our first Lombardi than see Mike Brown win another staring contest with a disgruntled player.  For all the leverage Trey doesn't have, if he doesn't play our odds of winning it all go down...billion dollar offense, or not.

I think Trey is a good man who is has a dumb agent & for some reason won't fire him. Trey asked for more money before last season when he was'nt eligible by league rules to do so. At some point he needs to take blame for accepting what the Bengals offered him & him taking it. Trey did'nt win us 1 game last year, in fact our D was horrible "with" him on the field. He needs traded for whatever they can get. End the saga now.

Yes it does. Which history are you referring to? We all sin and do wrong, but anyone who has done so much wrong they’re considered bad, and claims to be Christian, simply isn’t Christian. But I digress, this is a sports board.


Back to Hendrickson’s play on the field. You don’t think we won any games because of Hendrickson? I now understand why you want him gone. Agree to disagree on that one.

And yes, the team can terminate the contract and potentially suffer the consequences of the dead cap, but both sides understand this prior to the signing of the contract.
I think they should start writing stipulations for repayment of the signing bonus if players try to hold out just because they no longer like the contract that was just fine for them at the time of signing.

I mean, look at DeShaun Watson.  Cleveland didn't even come close to getting their money's worth, but you don't see them locking him out of the stadium or stomping their feet about the contract that they gave him.  It is what it is.  Trey should be grateful that they offered him a $12 million dollar raise.  If he pulls a LeVeon Bell and sits out the year, he will come back next season at almost 32 looking for $30+million again? 

Never gonna happen.

The Bengals will win this battle.

You’ve never seen a team renegotiate a contract? I’ll be more specific, you’ve never seen the bengals renegotiate a contract? Did you not see the bengals renegotiate Mixon, Moss, Volson?


This happens all the time in sports and in life. Highly competitive fields like sports and premium sales positions, this happens all the time. My company pays me a higher commission rate when I perform in the top 5% of the company. As soon as I stop performing at that level, they drop my commission rate. Pretty standard in sales and all sports

Sounds like semantics to me. *GASP* You're not ... anti-semantic are you?

Ok. Compromise. We'll say you heard it from me first, and you were there to back me up.
