Yes, Bengals may suffer defensively if he holds out, but even as great as Trey was, we sucked defensively with him so will we really be a lot worse if he holds out. Maybe, but one thing is certain, he holds out and he definitely gets fined and those fines will add up quickly once the July TC begins. Bengals can'r waive the fines even if they wanted to waive them. Chris Jones missed TC and 1 game and his fines totaled over 2 million dollars. That would be around 15% of Trey's 2025 income f he sat out only 1 game. In case you are wondering, they get 17 game checks, so one game check is almost 1 million lost in income.

I understand the Bengals not wanting to meet his price but that idea that oh we sucked with him on defense so what does it matter, my counter would be why resign Tee, we have not made the playoffs with him last two years and he has missed way too many games, so move on, i assume you agree with that with your thinking on Tre correct ?
