If they can't figure this out, it's going to get really ugly this offseason.
Ja'marr and his agent can ask for whatever they want, but there's a huge risk to digging in. If the team had a contract with an annual value higher than JJ's on the table, there's a lot of room for regret if Chase does not meet expectations. If, god forbid, he gets hurt in a way that impacts his long-term career, then ouch.
We all hope that they team's performance yesterday was all rust and turnovers. It wouldn't be the first time. If it's indicative of the kind of team they actually are (even with Chase), then I think they have to entertain the idea of getting something for him before he leaves.
This team could have major personnel issues on both offense and defense. It might be time to enter the second iteration of the Taylor Burrow era rather than sink insane money into a guy in Chase that you aren't winning with anyway. Get some young, hungry wideouts with something to prove again. You'll have the picks to do it if things really go that sideways. Get some young blood and spend that (potential) 40 mil per on revamping the defense in FA.
