I'm afraid that I agree with you.

The Chase thing doesn't just suck because Ja'marr didn't get an extension.  It sucks because it's basically the first real sign that they might not be able to hang with the rest of the league in terms of cash flow. Or, (since that's mostly a given) that they will run into major competitive disadvantages as a direct result.  The cap has insulated them, but the guaranteed money could really turn them into a Reds-like entity.
