Chase not Practicing

How many other teams that tagged someone have an even better player at the same position? The Bengals are getting a player worth 30+mil for 22mil. Seems like a good move by them. 

Chase demanding a new deal 2 years early and highest paid in the league looks as bad or worse for him compared to the Bengals. Brandon Auyik who just signed for 5mil less a year is as close to Chase as Chase is to Jefferson. Amon St Ra is as good as Chase and signed for 5 mil a year less then Jefferson. 

Would another team make Chase the highest paid WR? Probably. But Chase clearly has 0 care for his teammates, coaches, or winning in comparison to his own ego. 

Without knowing Chase I can pretty much guarantee that he wants to be out there with his teammates. Problem is he wants to be paid and he thinks he's worthy of top WR money and I agree with him. His agent I'm sure is telling him if you want paid don't practice. Lamb and Auyik did the same thing to get paid it's just part of the business that unfortunately isn't very fun. Let's just hope they get him signed thus weekend and we can move past this.
