I'm glad to see him practicing and hope the dude puts up such numbers this year that paying him next off-season costs the Bengals big time. But that quote just seems weird. 
Some have indicated the words allow you to change your perspective, I'm just curious as to how. 

Following is a quote from an ESPN article today that clarifies his real intent:

"Chase said that he hadn't asked for a new deal and that the Bengals had told him before the offseason that they intended to extend his contract. However, he added that even if the team had not made that suggestion, he still would have sought an extension on a rookie deal that runs through the end of 2025."
