If Chase wants a crack at a third contract before age 30, then the time to sign is now. For the team, it's as cheap as it's ever going to be. Makes sense for both sides to knock it out.
The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the team sees the bottom dropping out of the receiver market in the next 2 years. I think that's a thing that will happen, but probably not that soon. Give him a 3 year deal. Let him hope for another before he ages out, then see how it goes after that.
I was really hoping he would practice today. But it may not be that doom and gloom maybe they are at the finish line and his agent don't practice until ink hits paper to avoid any last minute snags.
As far as the hold up I have to think it's guaranteed money and the finer details. I know it was reported he asked for 120 guaranteed and Lamb got 100 both of those seem like large #s for the Bengals.
