Good he came in at under JJ's annual average, still comes down to what Cincy can do about the guaranteed money though.

Cool, something a little over what Lamb got should be about Ja'Marr's deal should be.

I think Chase should get a little under what Lamb got. Chase had a great rookie season but teams adjusted and the last 2 years Chase hasn't been at the same level as Lamb
Lamb:
2023 1,749 yards 12 TDs 13.0 yards per reception
2022 1,359 yards 9 TDs 12.7 yards per reception
Chase:
2023 1,216 yards 7 TDs 12.2 yards per reception
2022 1,046 yards 9 TDs 12.0 yards per reception
With Lamb signing a 4 year 136 million extension with 100 million guaranteed, a fair 4 year contract extension for Chase should be about 132 million with 95 million guaranteed.

Even known Bengals hater Kelsey Conway disagrees with you.
As for going solely off stats I’m sure Chase’s numbers would look even better too if he got to play the Commanders and Giants 4x a season.

Players know Jones will buckle and thus Jerrah will always have star players hold out until before the season starts. It's exactly the opposite of the standard MB wants to establish.
Interesting that everyone knew Jerrah would blink and when he would.
Chase has been more team friendly then Lamb, but I still wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get the contract this offseason.
Hopefully he does because Chase has signaled through his passive aggressiveness this offseason that next will be all out war.

It's hard to argue that someone is "better" when the numbers say otherwise. We can all like Chase better, but to Lamb, his family and fans, they'll just silence the Chase is better crowd by pointing to the numbers.
And the crowd will be silenced. Or arguing with themselves until Chase can give them some retort (by putting up the numbers that these players we keep saying he's better than have).

In the end it does not matter because rhe league views Chase at least in the top tier so his contract will be slotted in around Lamb's and Jefferson's. There won't be much quibbling now that rhe market is set same thing happened in the Joe Burrow situation.
The difference between yesterday and today is it has now it has become urgent to get Chase's deal done. The Lamb contract proved that it's a tier with Jefferson and not just an outlier so the sooner the Bengals get this done the more they can spread out the cap percentage... if they wait and Ja'Marr has 1300+ yards next year and the salary cap jumps another 20m well we could be talking 36 or 37m.

And this is where the Bengals need to get out of their comfort zone. There really is no other choice if you want to sign a player like Chase.
Orlando’s deal was a step in the right direction, but this one is going to cost a hell of a lot more in guaranteed money.

It was a similar situation for Jessie Bates he wanted a 14m extention Bengals drug their feet until the next year the cap jumped and he was like it's 16m now boys.
Why is it urgent to get Chase's deal done now? He still has 2 years remaining on his current contract and the Bengals could easily tag him twice and still be well under what Lamb was just paid with nothing guaranteed but the current season. Financially, the Bengals would be in much better shape to do that. It benefits Chase to come back to the Bengals to get an extension now along the lines of what Lamb got. If he is too greedy, he can end up screwing himself out of money.

This is the kinda stuff that would cause players to fake injuries and sit out a year instead of playing on franchise tag. When you argue "so what?" it's tieing up massive amount of the salary cap to a player that either isn't trying to risk injury or flat out not playing when all you had to do in the first place was show him some loyalty and pay him the contract he deserves.... but to each their own I guess I'd rather see Chase paid in the most team friendly way possible which is now.

Who's better discussion is always about metrics unless you don't have the metrics.... then you get the excuses.
DC's focus on stopping Lamb and only Lamb in that offense...
The truth is as painful as it seems, if anyone for example told us that George Pickens was better than Chase, the first thing we'd point to is Chases numbers. Yards, TD, etc.
Chase outside of his rookie year just hasn't done what some of the other elite top tier receivers have. Regardless if we see the "potential".

I think the Bengals will give guaranteed money but Chase isnt getting 120 million guaranteed. He isnt as good as Jefferson and he isnt as good as Lamb so he isnt going to get more guaranteed money than those guys. I think realistically Chase should expect between what AJ Brown got and what Lamb got. Maybe 90 million, maybe as high as 95. I dont know but the 160million extension with 120 million guaranteed Chase's agent is proposing is ridiculous. If Chase wants a deal done, come back with a serious offer that's between AJ Brown and Lamb.

Conway is trolling.
He played slot more last year, and I'd never highlight him out of the backfield as if he was a difference maker in that role like Deebo Samuels or someone. He actually sucks on reverses and coming out of the backfield. He's best as a decoy.

Not me.
I'm still on the side Chase's sophomore season in the NFL was better than his rookie because of growth as a receiver and the expansion of his route tree. He was a deep ball vertical threat in 2021 that could take a slant to the house but in 2022 he was an offensive weapon lining up all over rhe formation including the back field.

Is he really a threat out of the backfield? It seems like every time he gets the ball in the backfield, it never works.

Not really no lol. Some of that has to do with the blocking to the edges too even the backs were terrible at toss/pitch plays. It sure caught defenses off-guard in late 2022 though lol.
