Glad if they turned down a second round pick.
Me too. If Trey is worth similar money to other top defensive ends shouldn't he be valued as such in a trade? Would Myles Garrett be traded for less that a 1st round pick + Would TJ Watt? Would Maxx Crosby? Why would the Bengals trade Trey for a second round pick when none of those other guys would. If he is that much less valuable than these other guys in a trade, he should be paid less accordingly.
On one hand you cant compare him to these other elite defensive ends and claim he should be paid about the same but then turn around and expect that a 2nd round pick is a fair trade when none of the other elite DEs would be traded for so little. Again, why would the Bengals trade Trey for a 2nd round pick when none of the other top DE would be traded for that unless he is not seen as being as valuable? If he is less valuable, his contract should reflect that.
