Are NFL franchise balance sheets documents that we can look at?

Typo.

I meant million instead of thousand.

What a completely a utter failure from this group over the past few years. Bates, Tee, now Chase.

Get the ***** deal done before you go and mess up a Super Bowl season.

Bates did'nt earn the contract he got. I can care less that he left. He took whole seasons off.

Eleven-time Pro-Bowl OT Trent Williams and the 49ers are finalizing a reworked deal to get the left tackle back to the team and to give him a chance to play Monday night’s opener vs. the New York Jets, per his agency @eliteloyaltysp

Seems semi-relevant. Please get our guy done too so we can concentrate on winning a bowl.

I know ppl are mad but as will suck without Chase

We aren’t the Chiefs

We don’t have the refs and a crazy defense to offset losing our star WR


If we lost Chase we would essentially be the Seahawks. Like you can get to the playoffs consistently but you aren’t doing shit and you honestly should probably tank for a year to get a better player

At this point  hopefully the Bengals staff is game planning without Chase for Sunday.  if he misses Weds practice regardless if he signs and only has two official practices, i would think  the bengals think about not playing him on Sunday or limit his snaps since he has missed all practices and no game time during preseason, we should win this weekend by 7 or more without Chase and give him a week to get into better game shape mentally and physically,

No worries guys

You can't say that with any real logic at this moment. They have 3 RB's on the roster and only one of them has proven himself, albeit, barely. No idea if any of these guys can carry the ball 20 times to grind out yards to keep a series going and to get the tough yards especially in this division and you have only one other WR that's a real threat down the field. Chase is an essential part to both make the playoffs and certainly to make a deep run.

Hakuna matata, gentlemen

The entire situation is just so Bengals. Being a fan of this franchise is sisyphean and exhausting.

He’ll play Sunday

Whether he signs or not I think we all have a right be frosty right now lol. I could still see us losing to Pats, chase signs and we beat the Chiefs - because NFL. Now they scourge the internet using AI to generate stories that nobody else could fathom. It seems like we can't go a football game without saying "well I've never seen that before" Lol

If we can't beat the Patriots without Chase we have much bigger issues. You don't pay a QB $50 million a year to not be able to beat a bottom dweller of the league without his #1 WR.

We had a winning record and damn near made the playoffs last year with an injured Joe Burrow and Jake Browning. 

Having Chase makes us better, but this is a damn good team. Folks are just upset.

It's funny how the term "total team game" get used and omitted depending on one's hero.

I'm not sure how deep you're wanting to look but the payouts for all teams are easily found on Google.

Yes but anybody can beat anybody in this league so no W's are given regardless who's there/not there. If they can't run the ball then JB can be just like any other QB if he faces enough 3rd and long plays. If the backs can't pickup enough blitz packages JB could fumble a couple times or get way off schedule. If the NE receivers get behind the DB's a couple times. Bottom line is if you keep a team in a game long enough they forget just how bad they're suppose to be and where they might finish in the division and we;'ve seen it over and over.

We'll see if he practices tomorrow, but there is a game in 4 days... Let that sink in.

And it's safe to say Chase dependent on how many games he misses even if he's a decoy on Sunday is staring at another 1200 yard season......
