Chases 5th year option - Bengalbug - 02-23-2024
Is the same amount as the a 2024 Franchise Tag for WR. Still under market value, but I’m glad that the 5th year option is calculated based on production.
5. Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals — $21.816 million (Multiple Pro Bowls)
The franchise tag tenders are: receiver ($21.816 million)

You pay for what you get, I guess that is a good thing, I was honestly surprised the number was that high on a rookie's 5th year option.
How high was Burrow's last year before we paid him?

Chase without a single Pro Bowl would have been $15.6m. Jumps to $19.8m with 1 Pro Bowl, so that 1 makes an enormous difference. (Meanwhile Kyle Pitts with 1 Pro Bowl at TE is at $10.9m, such an underpaid position.)
The players certainly made sure that good players weren't getting completely shafted by the 5th year option delaying their FA. Lol

$29.5m
He was only a 1x Pro Bowler.
The QBs in this latest decision, if one of them was a 2x Pro Bowl (I don't think any are) it's $38.3m. Probably doesn't make any difference though at that position, because if you have a QB who was a 2x Pro Bowler in their first 3 years they're getting an even bigger mountain of cash in the form of an extension anyway.

Interesting, thanks TLL.
