I think Trey will sit out the first couple games of the season. I think they will get a deal done, but I do think it will take him missing a game or two for them to get it done.
I think there's a big difference between the two situations. Trey isn't trying to leap past the top of the market by nearly 30% like Chris Jones did.
Chris Jones zipped right past the entire IDL market. Last year there were 3 guys in the $24-24.5m/yr range and then Chris Jones came in at $31.75m/yr. Even now in 2025 the 2nd highest paid IDL is at $26m/yr with Chris Jones still way ahead of him.
It shouldn't be equally as hard to get a deal done with a guy who is only asking for market value as it was for a guy who wanted 30% above market value.
