Chase not Practicing

[Whatever]

I am sure the Bengals would have liked to get a deal done this offseason at a fair number. I don't think they were tripping over themselves to overpay him so this idea that just because they want to engage it means he gets whatever he wants or he holds out is just...weird.

Keep in mind that we haven't heard anything about an offer, even a low-ball offer, until a few days ago.  Once there was talk of negotiations ramping up, he started practicing.  I can see his point if they told him they were going to get an extension worked out and it rolls around to TC and he still doesn't have an offer.   It's a matter of principle.  Don't tell me you'll do something, then not come through.
