The market in 5 or 6 years from now is difficult to know. At this point, the NFL and WR market seems to be in a boom. But then just a few years ago we had a COVID bust year and until recent years the RB market was hot. I'm sure Chase's agents are pointing out the increase in salary cap last year and the Bengals are pointing out how things could go south and that while Chase can again hold-in if things continue to trend upward, the Bengals can't ask for money back if things don't go well with the market or with Chase's performance. I hope they can find common ground between those two scenarios.
