Have any rumored money offered turned out to be true when said contract was signed? It doesn't feel like it which makes me skeptical.
Yes we paid Chase and Tee but we handcuffed ourselves by front loading the contracts. If we aren't the worst front office we are bottom 5 and it's becoming glaring with the QB and WRs we have.
I guess lastly it's not so much we've mistreated Trey as of now although not upping his salary since he's outplayed his contract isn't great. If we tell him it's play with his current contract or sit than that is bad and no other team would do that. But it's beyond Trey we don't treat players very good and we have a history of this so it's nothing new.
One would just hope that when we finally have an elite QB the front office might try and up they're game but they haven't thus far.

That's not because Tee's original agent was bad. That agent wouldn't take the deal because NO OTHER team in the league would offer the deal the way the Bengals did. He can't take the deal if he's trying to get his client a deal that all other 31 teams would give. Chases agent just took the deal because Tee wanted it.
The only assumption I would make about Trey is that he's already taken the Bengals very team friendly deals in the past. That would point me to the fact that he's most likely not being unreasonable.
Well at the same time they were reporting what Ja'Marr and Tee were getting offered and it came out pretty close for them after we saw the results.
I agree that Trey has taken team friendly deals and we don't know the exact offer though, I just don't think as of late the Bengals have treated their
players poorly.
