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.
Why, JaMarr is not in the same Draft Class as Jefferson and Lamb. Why is it "now urgent" to do his deal a year earlier?
It seems folks comparing Chase's situation to JJ and CeeDee are missing this simple fact.
As to who's better:
You tell me I can pick JJ, Chase, or CeeDee to start my NFL Franchise: I'm taking Chase.
