And the crowd will be silenced. Or arguing with themselves until Chase can give them some retort (by putting up the numbers that these players we keep saying he's better than have).
In the end it does not matter because rhe league views Chase at least in the top tier so his contract will be slotted in around Lamb's and Jefferson's. There won't be much quibbling now that rhe market is set same thing happened in the Joe Burrow situation.
The difference between yesterday and today is it has now it has become urgent to get Chase's deal done. The Lamb contract proved that it's a tier with Jefferson and not just an outlier so the sooner the Bengals get this done the more they can spread out the cap percentage... if they wait and Ja'Marr has 1300+ yards next year and the salary cap jumps another 20m well we could be talking 36 or 37m.
