They basically covered for him not to practice during the pre season but have now laid the groundwork to begin fining him if he missed practices. When asked if he would he replied he’d deal with that if the situation comes up. We need to start fining Chase under conduct detrimental to the team for each practice he misses from this point onward. If he doesn’t practice next week we should suspend him for 3 games as allowed under the CBA so he can’t collect game checks.

The team has no duty to both renegotiate his contract two years early and make him the highest paid player at his position. He is not negotiating in good faith and essentially wants it all. While Taylor protected him all preseason that time needs to end because it shows a clear bias towards him that we can’t and shouldn’t provide to others in the future. Start holding him accountable with the tools in the CBA and if that kills the relationship so be it

When Hill began to be a problem in KC about his contract wanting raises constantly they shipped him to Miami. We shouldn’t be beyond moving him if we can’t get control of this situation. Two 1’s and a player could go a long way and you then resign Tee at 30 per and move on. People say without Chase we won’t win a Super Bowl but I say with this circus we won’t either. We paid Burrow to be able to do what Mahomes does and that’s to win with what he has…we need to trust that decision.

Maybe the Brown family should sell the team if they are more concerned with money than winning championships. Ja'Marr Chases talent mixed with his connection with Burrow makes him invaluable to us. I'm not sure there is another guy out there that could do for us what he does outside of maybe Jefferson (with the Burrow connection in mind). If he wants paid right now with what is league value at top of the market money. Then you shut the F up and pay the man his money. It's that simple. You want to win championships then show the guy that has changed our franchise.

I don't mean to get all worked up over this but our window is now. Pay the man and enjoy the show.
