Sports Illustrated just offered why Chase may want a new contract now. SI says maybe Chase and his agent saw how Burrow treated and how Bates and Higgins had to go through franchise tag, and Chase wants The Burrow Treatment.
He's going to play. He would be a pariah in the locker room and in the city if he sat out. Not to mention, I would LOVE to see an NFL team (not necessarily this situation) take a player to court for breach of contract and have the player ordered to pay back his salary and signing bonuses. That would put an end to a lot of this foolishness.
