Chase is probably wanting $35m a year, but he really doesn’t have all that much leverage.  The bengals have two more years of control, plus any franchise tags they would likely use.

If I’m the bengals, I’m looking at waddles deal and saying, look Jamar we will do 3 year extension at $30m/year, now.  Or we can wait, see how this year goes and then maybe you are at the four for $140m range.  

I see both sides, especially with the waddle deal.  I think Chase wants his cake and eat it too.

Just my $.02.

We had 2 years left and chose to pay Burrow I think Chase is 2nd best Bengal plus WR careers are shorter than QB's Chase is definitely a top 5 WR Joe was definitely a top 5 QB lots of similarities. Going into Burrow's contract and Chase at present Chase has had the slightly better start to each of their careers.
