Chase not Practicing

Him and Burrow are tight and if it was me, I'm not going to risk pissing off both of my stars. B. His talent is something you want to lock in. Chase could easily sit out any time you decide to screw with his security. No team in the NFL, especially one that needs a star WR with that amount of talent and speed, would bat an eye at giving him what he wants. So I wouldn't put it past him (good business) to hold out and demand a trade until he gets the kind of security deal that makes him comfortable.


The Bengals Org does not have a good reputation for taking care of players, AKA Mike Brown. Granted, Mike treats players like family and supports them, but he never has and never will want to pay them. They had to pay Burrow, or Cincinnati fans would have burned the stadium down. But, with the Blackburns more involved in the day-to-day, I think a deal will get done.

I disagree on MB paying players. In fact he always pays his star players, just not always the secondary pieces. He’s paid Palmer, Chad, Green, Dalton, Mixon, Hendrickson, Brown, Reader, Burrow. He’s going to pay chase. I have zero doubt he’ll get an extension. I just don’t know when.


I also don’t think chase sits out. I think he and Taylorboth knew he would sit out TC to neutralize risk of injury and he’ll be suited up game 1 and playing the first snap of the game.
