You can't pay every player that has a great year more money. You just can't. That's what contract incentives and escalators are for.

That said, I think Trey is an exception. He's had 17.5 sacks each of the past 2 years.

The thing is, how many more years can you expect him to play at that level? He's 31 next year. Is he at his peak for 2/3 more years? Or will he decline. It's a risky bet.

Fans are kind of acting like he'll get 17.5 sacks each of the next 3 years. But, if you pay him $35 million a year and he drops down to 8 sacks, then it's a vast overpay.

I agree and Trey stated they did offer him a new contract, I assume it was for more, but he chose to say no to possibly a final offer from the FO..

Negotiations are messy, every team goes through it.

Watt wants an extension as well, maybe team wants to see how Steeler's handle his contract.
