He still has 2 years remaining on his current contract and the Bengals could easily tag him twice and still be well under what Lamb was just paid with nothing guaranteed but the current season. Financially, the Bengals would be in much better shape to do that. It benefits Chase to come back to the Bengals to get an extension now along the lines of what Lamb got. If he is too greedy, he can end up screwing himself out of money.
He is asking for what CeeDee got essentially. Lamb is getting 30.8 per year and Chase would be getting 32 or just under according to the #s we heard. Chase's deal seems vastly different on the surface because with 2 yrs left instead of 1 his deal looks like 4yr 160 mil instead of the 136mil. But pretty close to the same deal.
