Chase not Practicing

This is the kinda stuff that would cause players to fake injuries and sit out a year instead of playing on franchise tag. When you argue "so what?" it's tieing up massive amount of the salary cap to a player that either isn't trying to risk injury or flat out not playing when all you had to do in the first place was show him some loyalty and pay him the contract he deserves.... but to each their own I guess I'd rather see Chase paid in the most team friendly way possible which is now.
