They keep bringing up the pie, but I can't fault Chase's camp for playing hardball given the situation the FO painted themselves into. They may have wanted Chase more, but the timing of Tee's extension forced their hand.
It looks like they're going to let Tee leave for a comp pick and keep tagging Chase or be forced to trade him if they don't extend him. If they don't want to pay him, they've got to draft better so good players are taking those pieces of the pie.
If they don't pay Chase then I'm done with this team. The of absolutely zero reason why they can't pay him.
If they let Bates, Higgins, and then Chase all leave without an extension I'll be dumbfounded.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy
