A vast majority of tagged players just play on the tag and then decide to either sign a long-term deal or move on if able.
We saw that with Bates last year.
It may be that the bigger Star players are more likely to actually sit out and Chase may consider himself to be a Superstar.
Once a player threatens to sit out. that player either has to give in and sign the Franchise Tag, get the Team to give him a Long Term Deal
or actually sit out if the Team plays hardball like the Steelers did with Le'veon Bell.
Not so sure that Chase will just quietly sign the Franchise Tag.
He may feel disrespected and try the Dez Bryant & Davante Adams approaches.
Dez got the Long Term Deal and Davante got traded.
