Per reports, neither of these are true. Chase is neither sick or injured. However Chase really expected a new contract Friday. Now both the Front Office and Chase have been acting like everything is nice. However if Chase doesn't play Sunday, things could go from Nice to Ugly real fast. The Bengals may not sit back and just take it from Chase without suspensions or financial penalties. Of course Chase will get upset.
We add to an unhappy Chase that they have an unhappy Higgins. We've been here before with an unhappy Chad Johnson and an Unhappy Carson Palmer and it's not the stuff Super Bowl teams are made of.
So hours before game time, nobody knows if Chase will play or not. He's injured but he isn't injured due to not getting his new contract. He was asking for a 160 mil contract and he isn't rushing out there to play for his rookie contract around 4 mil. He sees other WR's getting around 150 mil, and he figures why play for his rookie contract still. He sees Burrow getting paid, and yet Chase is still near The League minimum.
and we hear Higgins tweaked his hamstring. It might have been tweaked when Higgins and his Agent were upset Bengals slapped the franchise tag on him, keeping him from getting long term free agent contract. Higgins and Chase both feel like they are being held in Limbo by this Front Office, so suddenly they both say they are unable to play, which is a legal sidestep from saying they refuse to play. If you could get in trouble asking for the day off, you simply call in sick, average workers know that.
So tune in tomorrow to The Young Bengals And The Restless to see who is and who isn't playing in this soap opera. You know who thee real losers are. THE BENGALS FANS who long waited for a good team, and now that this team looked to have a good dynasty type decade, Oh No, not for The decades long suffering Bengals Fans. After 30 years this team got a play-off win, and maybe they think the fans can go another 30 years without one. The Bengals Fans are the real losers in all this Front Office vs Players mess.
What fails to make sense is Bengals said the big thing in offseason was a deal with Chase. So using the franchise tag on Higgins made Higgins one of highest paid WR's in NFL this year, Paid way higher than Chase. Plus the franchise tag makes top players angry. I'm at a loss as to what Bengals Front Office was thinking when they slapped the franchise tag on Higgins. So here is Opening Day, both Higgins and Chase upset, and say they have injuries, which is a good legal out by them, it's not the same as saying they refuse to play. Bengals Front Office handled the Offseason poorly, and it's THE BENGALS FANS that I feel sorry for, they deserve better, much better.
