Chase not Practicing

[007BengalsFan]

I want to keep Chase and think he deserves to get paid but demanding 40 million per year is crazy when the best WR in football just signed for 35 million per year.  This claim that Chase isnt getting paid as much as Jefferson if you divert the additional money to years where Chase is already under contract is ridiculous.  Chase was already making more money than Jefferson on their rookie contracts but then Chase wants a big raise after just 3 years while Jefferson played 4?  Its not close to being comparable.  Chase would be making more money on their rookie contracts plus he would be making more on the extension.  In no way would he be making less than Jefferson

If you want to add money to rookie year contracts like some people want to do for Chase as a justification for average paid per year, let's take a look it at the whole picture.   Jefferson signed a 4 year rookie contract for ~13.123m + his 5th year option at 19.743m + the 4 year 140 million extension.  If I have done my math correct this would be roughly 172.86 million. Chase by comparison signed a 4 year rookie contract for 25.96m + his 5th year option 21.82m + 4 year 160million extension demand.  This equals roughly 207.78 million over the same number of years as Jefferson.  Chase is not getting paid less than Jefferson, in fact he would be paid significantly more over the same number of years.
