I had my best season ever at age 32. Take that for what you will, but I also played DE, and Guard when needed, as well as DT in a pinch or even DT and ILB when needed. 

Think about that. I had my best season at age 32, and I still worked a physical job every day of the week. Imagine what a pro athlete who also has good genetics can do past age 30.

This is another mess up by the FO that they now do not have a solid plan to fix. They probably figured $25-28 million per year would get it done.  I would guess that the number they are still offering.  Knowing how the FO works and reading this quote form Trey makes me believe they are low-balling him for sure:

“I'm not going to apologize for the rates of the defensive ends being paid in the National Football League”

If he sits out 2025, the contract rolls over to 2026.

Sorry, Bengals hold the cards. They can bring it a vet to replace him after week #1 and the vet would not be guaranteed any money in 2025, so they could cut them if Trey came back from a hold out.
