most players are motivated by money (ahem, myles Garrett, I'll stay on this trash team).
They have paid well on second contracts (rookies) and vets in FA, it is the current deal as most will not come if not paid well.
Trey signed 2 contracts with the Bengals, he agreed to them. There is no doubt Bengals got a deal as Trey outperformed. But look around, how did Browns do paying Watson. Ravens paying Tucker. Saints paying Carr.
Everyone wants to ignore the risk the team takes on. Same people want to sign Trey for 32 to 40 million get upset we don't bring in more expensive FA vets.
It takes to tango, Bengals made an offer, Trey refused to dance.

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
