Also, teams can only prorate signing bonuses over 5 years. If Chase signs a 4 yr deal after the season he will still have his 5th year plus that contract to spread the money.
Will the total deal be more expensive next season? Of course it will. Do I wish they would lock him up now? Yes. But does our money pinching ownership have a reason not to pay him this year? Yes.
All true. I think we give him his extension before the season though as the FO wants to keep our main dudes happy rightfully so.
We all love Tee, but it was always Ja'Marr we were going to keep with Joey B.
