Signing a deal with only $15m guaranteed would put him at 61st in total guaranteed money and 48th in guaranteed at signing money among EDGE players in 2025.
In your suggestion 2026 and 2027 only exist to underpay him (compared to the market) if he does well, and let him easily get cut if he underperforms.

Chase Young who has never had a 8.0 sack season, this offseason got a $17m signing bonus, $27.2m guaranteed at signing, and $33m total guaranteed.
A guy with back-to-back 17.5 sack seasons coming off a 1st Team All-Pro season is not going to sign for $15m guaranteed.
Given that he is in a contractual bind, there has to be a give somewhere. If the Bengals double his salary, Trey's concession would be to take a one year deal.
My suggestion is essentially a one year deal, where Trey gets his free agency afterwards.
Young signed a three year $51M deal, with AAV of $17M. He is 26yo, and his deal ends at 28.
