Seems if it were something else; we'd hear Zac say "I know he'll stay in shape and be ready to go when he gets here". 

But yeah, I have no problem being the only one saying he's a "no show" because of contract situation; or "hell bent" as you put it. 

I mean, is Chase a no-show due to his contract?  Most likely, though at this point it's probably a "I'm not risking a 9 figure contract at voluntarily OTA's" sort of situation.  He's already hooked up with Joe this off-season and he knows that he's a Bengal for the next 2, almost guaranteed to be 3, years, so it's likely little more than that.  Everyone would like him to be there, but guys miss voluntaries all the time.  Look at Trey last year.  If he starts missing mandatories, it's an issue, but the guy is an elite player.  He'll be fine.

I'm more concerned with Brown, as he's been fairly inconsistent during his career and is on a one year prove-it deal.  He needs to get his chemistry down with the rest of the line.
