He's been the Achilles heel of this team since he took over. We like to think he has relinquished his FO to Katie because it makes us hopeful. Then, shit like these contract negotiations pop up and he's right there front and center like a genital wart you just can't seem to get rid of.

I've been barking about this for years now.  These old men do not want to relinquish their power to draw from when they want to.  Katie would be the Owner of the team if anything had changed.  While I believe Katie and Duke likely construct most, if not all, of the contracts, she's gotta run the major shit by Daddy to get it off the ground.  

MFB also put the muzzle on her as far as the media goes because he has the final say as long as he's breathing.  At 89, he's starting to get that "Al Davis" look to him now and it's just shocking that he's the only real voice for the Bengals.

Mike Brown on Chase contract (7/22/24):
“It’s not so likely that this is the good time to negotiate,” Brown said, via Ben Baby of ESPN. “The offseason is a better time for that and we’re going to try to keep focused on the football part."  “I’m not going to rule anything out, but I will tell you that the die has probably been cast.”

I think MFB makes Chase wait until next season.  If MB wants to keep his money, he will.  If he wants to throw it away (Antonio Bryant), he'll do that too.  Just my opinion though.  


Perhaps Katie has threatened to smother him with a pillow and he's changed.  Let us hope.
