Nobody has said anything about the Bengals going back on a verbal deal, including Trey. He signed an extension and then had a career year so thinks it should get him another raise. But the team can't give every player a yearly raise who outperforms their contract, especially with a salary cap. He made the wrong bet on himself by accepting too little and now wants a mulligan. Tough shit. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Treehorn Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I would genuinely like to see a link to some sort of source or report that last years deal was intimated as a bridge to a long term deal because I haven't seen that anywhere. From what I see, he was coming off a bit of a down year with only 8 sacks, the FO gave him a $15M extension which is more than generous for that type of year, and he's mad that he signed it after now having a career year. What am I missing? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough shit. I will predict that, once some sports “journalists” dig into the background, that it will be revealed that there were discussions regarding a real multi year deal, but then they dropped off or discontinued. You never see this out-of-the-blue pronouncement without something having occurred previously. Mark these words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted April 24 Author Report Share Posted April 24 If Trey says he will retire rather than play for 15 million this season, I hope the Bengals call his bluff. Thankfully Mike Brown is exactly the right guy for that game of chicken. Especially as this is bigger than one player and goes to the foundation of all the team's contracts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing stopping Trey's agent from leading with that headline right now, if that indeed were the case. It would certainly help his client's standing in the public eye, since right now most Bengals fans on twitter are turning on him fast. The Bengals made a bet on him with a reasonable 4 year deal that he would blossom into a star. He then did. End of story. They don't need to now bet against themselves and erase their leverage for making the right gamble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Jersey Bengal Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 These aren't the old Bengals they have paid many players what they have deserved and more He can take a hike and I hope if he plays he's not a distraction to the team 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither side can divulge specifics of contractural negotiations until such time that either side signs off. I do this stuff all the time.
