Trey: "I'm unhappy with my current deal that I have outperformed."
Bengals FO: "Trey, play for us under your current deal in 2024, produce, and we'll take care of you next offseason."
Trey: "Okay." *Is Sack King and 1st Team All-Pro*
Bengals FO: "How about 70% of the top of the market/only 80% of your market value and less than our WR2 who last had 1k yards three years ago got?"
Trey: I want a 60-million-dollar deal.
Bengals FO: OK, here's your 60 million
Trey: I want an extension and a raise on my deal, which I'm only 2 years in on, so my family has security.
Bengals FO: OK, here's your raise and extension
Trey: I want another extension and raise
Bengals FO: Sorry dude, you're not even eligible to ask for a new deal by NFL rules..... you might want to get an agent that knows what he's doing. And we'll give you a raise next year.
Trey: I want to be paid like a Top 5 DE, even though I'm ranked 8th or 9th, or I'm not playing out my contract.
Bengals FO: Well, you realize you are under contract, but here's a 12-million-dollar raise for this year that we are not contractually obligated to even give you
Trey: It's not enough, I'm taking my ball and going home.
Bengals FO: Well ok, but you are being fined for missing mandatory practices. Let us know how many games you think you might sit out so we can spend that money elsewhere. ANd by the way, if you retire, then decide to come back next year, we still own your rights.
