I hope both sides compromise and get it done. But, if Chase is not practicing by Thursday, if I am the Bengals I tell him he is no longer permitted in the facility. The Bengals did not have to allow him to be there, but not practice. The Bengals did not have to not fine him $50,000 per day for not practicing as he is healthy.

I think it is the Bengals who are trying to appease Chase, not so sure Chase is reciprocating by not practicing.

I hope he gets his deal and both team and Chase are thrilled. I think he is a great WR but does us no good if he is not playing and then this spills over into season as a huge distraction.

They were talking this morning on Sirius (I actually believe it was a rebroadcast of yesterday's show) that salary wise Chase will make 1 million this year, and that he's lucky the Bengals haven't been fining him, because he could actually be fined more than his salary if he continues to hold out.
