I disagree , I've never seen more rookies contribute now

His 40 million a year, combined with the 2 years he have on his contract: 40MIL X 4 (160) + 27MIL that he is owed for the last 2 years make this a 6Year, 186MIL contract, putting him at 31.17M a year (the highest paid YES, but only barely edging out Jefferson!
Are you figuring in Jefferson’s fourth and fifth year when comparing?

So looking at the title of this thread the question is will Chase practice now? Has he or anyone verified for sure that he is planning on playing in week 1?
Doesn’t matter if you side with Chase or the team you know the Bengals have most of the leverage. He has to play or get fined/not paid unless he comes up with some phantom injury. I don’t think he would do that but I do worry that he will get hurt without any real practice or training camp. Chase works out hard but running routes/competing against other guys, even in practice, is just different.
Just waiting to see what his end game is and if he’s going to participate and be ready to go vs NE.

That’s just not true Essex. You might have anomaly years, but go look up the data over a certain timeframe. Recency bias.
How did JSN do last year? Quinton Johnson? John Mingo? Marvin mims? Then there is a litany of 3rd round picks. 10) Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee
Round 3, Pick 73 | Giants
11) Cedric Tillman, Tennessee
Round 3, Pick 74 | Browns
12) Josh Downs, North Carolina
Round 3, Pick 80 | Colts
13) Michael Wilson, Stanford
Round 3, Pick 94 | Cardinals
14) Tre Tucker, Cincinnati
It’s too soon to right the book on this group, but it’s really not all that common to see immediate contribution.
2022 had London, olave and Wilson do good. But…
Treylon Burkes (since signed d hop, Ridley and Boyd).
Jahon Dotson (traded)
Jameson Williams (so far, big disappointment)
Christian Watson (probably belongs on hit list but injuries thus far)
Wandale Robinson
John metchie
Sky Moore
Velus jones
Anyway.. there has been some great high end production from some recent. But for the most part, it’s the same as always.

According to ESPN, the receiver position has recently had the lowest rate of first-round picks signing a second contract with the teams that drafted them. The data, which focused on 20 drafts between 2000 and 2019, showed just 27% of receivers extending with their original teams.

It's a potential debate point, but Burrow hasn't been injured by a hit given up by the LT to our knowledge.
His rookie year, MJ gave up a hit from LG that shredded his knee.
The calf was from non-contact injury.
The wrist was Clowney off of Jonah at RT.
It's more likely than not he sustains the same injuries, with or without Sewell.

The announcers of last night's game sure made it seem like Chase was not playing until he got a new contract. I don't know if they had more information than anyone else, but this was the first I really began to fear Chase may not play this year unless he gets a new contract.

Good. They're paying him 72 million. We have Ted one more year then Lee is here on his rookie contract. I expect big things from Lee watching him play now.

He's still pissed he didn't get a refrigerator next to his locker.

Since 2014, 10 years, there have been 326 receivers drafted.
There have been twelve (12) 1,000 yard seasons -4%
There have been twenty-three (23) 900 yard seasons - 7%
There have been seventeen (17) 70 catch seasons - 5%
Again… it’s just not true.

Sunday will be the day to keep an eye on as a return to practice. 2 weeks to get into football shape and begin practicing. If he is still not practicing then it's time to contact Houston and let them know we have a problem.

I don't know if it's an indicator of the city's feelings or not, but every article about Chase I see posted on Social Media has hundreds of comments, and the vast majority of people are saying pay Tee and trade Chase. He is destroying his brand it would appear. He's going to be one sad cookie if that happens and he has to watch Burrow and Higgins win without him.

Didn't tee demand a trade before this? I guess he's back in the good graces by default.

Tee was here first and is very popular
He didn’t start holding out long before his contract was expired
Fans are just weary with all the contract BS in general and Chase is the straw that broke the backs of many camels
I’m rather to’d at Chase. Obviously I’d much prefer a resolution that brings him back ASAP, but I’m not compelled in any way to take his side in the matter.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

But then Tee signed the franchise tender in mid-June and showed up to camp when he could have waited until the end of camp to sign and not lose money. And he's been out there every day working his ass off. I wouldn't say he demanded a trade, because he signed and showed up. More like asked for a trade.

I'm not saying it's exactly the same, just that we seem to have convinced ourselves ours is a franchise that doesn't employ football mercenaries like everyone else.
The Burrow effect has filled out heads with visions of instant franchise wide competence and allegiance.
