We heard rumors/speculation and if those are true I'd say it's too rich. He wants to be the highest paid WR in the NFL. He can't use "next contract" logic, because Lamb signed after Jefferson for less and Lamb is every bit the WR JaMar Chase is.
Chase could be doing a Watson and demanding 100% guaranteed. He could not be wanting to play the next 2 years on his current contract, he may want to start new contract this year. WE DON'T Know, but we do know the Bengals are stupid for not doing it.
I WANT him signed and I WANT him in camp, but I try to be rational about it.
Well if the #s we saw are accurate. I'm pretty sure it's the guaranteed #. I don't see a world where Chase is fighting for a contract now but doesn't want any of the money now. But if he's asking right at Justin Jefferson average than I think it's a no brainer to sign him. Which if the Bengals agree on that I'm sure it's the guarantee. As far as the whole Lamb got less than Jefferson and he's equal to Chase atleast. We're talking less than 2-3 mil a year average? Not worth fighting over at that point I'm my eyes. Especially when we say it's only going to go up.
