If they don't move him during the draft, they'll likely concede and give him a damn contract that reflects what his value is as a player. When that domino falls, however way it goes, I would expect some sort of activity in terms of free agency soon after.

I know a lot of fans want to give Trey an additional 15 million in 2025 or double his contract, but I don't see the FO even considering doing that and I agree. The team does not have to throw away the 2025 contract (which is really 19 million in 2025 when you factor in his signing bonus already paid t him in 2023.

I know Trey wants the moon, but a ton of guys have outplayed their contracts in the NFL. Henry is 31 and is a beast, yet Ravens do not appear to be giving him a new deal. Watt is in last year of his deal and I have not seen Steelers rushing to give him another huge deal, he is also 31 I believe.

I love Trey, but the fact is he only has 16 million guaranteed for 2025. Any extensions addingan additional 23 to 25 million for him is a lot better for him than playing in 2025 and praying he does not suffer a career ending injury. At 31 at him, the future guarantee would be as important as the dollars per year.
