The difference is Ja'Marr would also get a huge pay increase year 4 that Jefferson didnt get. Ja'Marr is trying to double dip.
I'll admit the 4yr 160 million was shocking at first. But all the people that cover the Bengals are all saying pay him. Why? Because Chase is a difference maker. We don't make it to the superbowl without him. That's just the cols hard truth of it. He is 1B face of the franchise. The timing might be a bit unusual but his impact with this team and his connection with Burrow is unusual. Pay him and move on.
