Am I certain he’s doing everything behind the scenes so he’s ready to fire on all cylinders week one? Yes

Is he acting like a petulant child and making himself look a right tit just standing there? Yes.

He stands to make 5m this year near enough with bonuses, more than anyone on here will see in their life and he’s spitting his dummy out.

It makes sense for the Bengals to try get it done this summer but you look at JJ on the receiver show saying he loves football and was never going to sit out and then see what Chase is doing and it leaves a bad taste.

Neither the Bengals or Chase are going to look good coming out of this unless they can meet in the middle and soon.

Chase is locked in for 2 more years on his contract.  If you give him an extension now he is going to want more money this year and next year when his cap hit should have been lower on a rookie contract but now it wont be since you are moving part of that extension money to 2024 and 2025.  

That doesnt sound bad because you are lowering his cap hit in later years.  The problem I can see happening though is Chase pulling a Trey Hendrickson and complains about not getting paid enough in later seasons because you gave him more money upfront which lessens the actual amount he would be paid in later seasons.
