Trent will be there. His base salary this year is $11M, meaning each game check is $687,000. Plus he’s got roster bonuses due that pay him another $15,000 for each game he plays in, so essentially $700K per game.

That’s all his contract says he’ll get this season.

So even if Bruce plays a hardball game of chicken with him, Trent will be there week 1. It’s too much money to give up. He has no reason to show to training camp - why risk injury when you’ve got $700K per game coming. But he has every reason to be there week one.

And besides the team likely sees the sense in extending him some and giving him a bump in pay. Will it be enough to satisfy him? Don’t know, but he’ll be there week one.

The last guy to sit out games in a similar circumstance was Le’Veon Bell and his Jets contract didn’t end up making up the dollars lost by sitting.
