The team trading for him is going to want to know if they can get a deal done with Trey before they commit resources to trading for him. That requires his input before a deal is finalized. No team is going to give a 1st and a young defensive starter and not even know if the player they're trading for wants to play for them or is willing to negotiate an extension with them.
Khalil Mack was traded to Chicago on Sept 1st, he then also signed a contract extension with Chicago on Sept 1st. They didn't just magically negotiate the deal in an hour. They had an agreement worked out with Mack/Mack's agent before they finalized the trade.
Davante Adams was traded to Oakland on March 17th, he then also signed a contract extension with Oakland on March 17th.
Fair enough, it looks like it happens more often than not.
