But if indeed it was ridiculous, then you have to wonder if they were ever really serious about dealing him anyway.
Trey and his agent may have come to the same conclusion which would just add to their sh*tty attitude towards the team.

Re: Bengals Related News & Notes
Too much evidence of chance since Burrow's been here to ignore it. DJ Reader, Chase and Higgins, Burrows contract, the Stadium improvements, then the actual agreement with the city that isn't 100% pro Brown family.Bengals1 wrote: ↑Wed May 14, 2025 11:11 pmThe illusion of change.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Wed May 14, 2025 10:58 pmThat could very well be, however it's breaking their history to even offer letting him seek a trade.Bengals1 wrote: ↑Wed May 14, 2025 10:50 pm

Are they perfect, heck no but they are making changes. I'll admit too slow for my own liking but they are making chances, everyone has to admit that.
I would also say that I do not believe they should extend Trey. He's old and we don't need that money tied up on an aging DE.

Then trade him while he has value. Waiting till its a full blown hold out will only decrease his value as teams will know we're desperate.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Thu May 15, 2025 8:48 amI would also say that I do not believe they should extend Trey.

Let's be clear I don't like the situation and I'm not even going to pretend I know what the front office is thinking.Bengals1 wrote: ↑Thu May 15, 2025 8:25 pmFair.

To answer your question, no I personally would not count on that.

Granted in this situation it paints the Bengals in a very negative light. The front office is definitely good at taking the hit for the rest of the team when we all realize signing Trey to a long term deal isn't probably the best solution. With that said name one team that the fans actually like the front office of the org? There isn't many if there is any at all.

My point is that Trey and his agent apparently don't know either. Communication here appears to be.....lacking.
Its just unprofessional. Something many players past and present have accused our front office of.
