For Trey, that is one year at 16 million. He's obviously not going to play for that, so they need to have a deal with him or risk them trading a pick or player away for a guy who won't play for them. So yes, they have to have an agreement that Trey will sign. And the Bengals already gave Trey permission to seek a trade.
If Try finds a trade partner, that may happen as you stated. But if Bengals find the trade partner, not they do not have to allow the partner to get a deal with Trey ahead of time. They know what the offer is because likely team would share it and what Trey is asking. So, in this scenario Bengals do not and would not have to get Trey's permission.
