There is a hold-out for about half-the-season until he has to show up to earn credit for the season so he can turn free agent next year. Those uncertainties can be very harmful to the team planning for games.
There also is the impact on the other players if they see Trey as being poorly treated because he could get a lot of money and guarantees from another team but the Bengals are hard-balling him. Other teams have renegotiated contracts and taken care of players who were outperforming their contracts.
Chris Jones held out 2 years ago. The Cheifs won the Super Bowl. It is business and an agent suggestig a 31 year old under contract to hold out, lose game checks and be subject to fines from the team is a very weak argument.
If Trey wants a huge raise, his agent needs to find a team willing to overcompensate the Bengals. Otherwise, Trey for 16 million in 2025 looks wonderful to me.
