We have a real chance to open things up at the start of the season instead of playing catch-up, and him not participating or playing could really mess that up. Chiefs and Ravens, someone's getting a loss and helps us either way. If the Ravens win, and the Bengals win week 2, then they're two games up on KC right out of the gate. The Steelers won't be a factor and this may be Tomlin's first losing season. Who knows what happens in Cleveland with that S-show. The AFCN should be a race between Cincy and Baltimore this year.
This is what I've read on Chase. I read Chase said last week that he understands that a new deal may not get done with 2 years left on his contract. He says he will honor his contract and play and not take the financial loss of sitting out, but next year on last year of contract he will ask for over 200 million.
I'll point out Mike Brown made a deal with AJ Green the day before regular season once. If they can lock Chase in at 150 or 160 million for many years as opposed to over 200 million next year, they will.
Chase says he is playing against Patriots. The lack of practice doesn't mean much to me. Most of the Superstars didn't see much preseason action.
So from what I've read, Chase said if a new deal isn't done, he will play, only he is going to ask for a ton of money in 2025 in last year of his contract. So it sounds like Burrow will have Chase and Higgins on the field against Patriots.
