Taking advantage of what situation?  The fact that Trey agreed to a contract?  They have discussed an extension with him with a large pay increase.  They don't agree on money.  Trey wants paid based on his current performance and the team wants to pay based on what he will likely be worth as father time takes it's toll.  Both are valid points of view and the eventual agreement likely is in the middle.

If anyone honestly believes the club told Trey "sign this one year extension for a lesser increase and we will make you a Top 5 paid edge rusher before that extension year kicks in"...like, what are you smoking?  Why would the team not just pay him then?  Why would Trey agree to something that makes no damn sense?  

Signing older players to multi-year contracts. Him signing his initial deal and them giving him a very modest raise and one more year.



I expect them to finally get it done as well, after much haggling and pinching. 

He has clearly stated on multiple occasions that if he went out and performed, they'd "take care of him". Believe him or not, the Bengals track record doesn't shine the positive spotlight on them. 

Does anyone really believe he's asking for 4yrs @ 40M? If he is, he's crazy. 

If he asked for a raise after year 2 (which i believe is when he did it), that's the time for the Bengals to say "wait and see", then when he goes for 17+ in year 3, they could have extended him then. Regardless, as usual, it's all ****** up and while both are at fault, the Bengals are the NFL franchise and they shouldn't have such an issue with signing players to extensions, as their history shows they do.
