Ja' Marr Chase's Contract: Should Bengals let him walk?

[*psychdoctor*]

Should the Bengals save money for other dire areas and let Ja' Marr walk? I believe Chase and Burrow are a unit and Chase will get the extension, but in theory, would it be better to use the money else where? Is keeping Chase going to lead to the promise land of a Super Bowl victory?

Others are way better at this than I, but Burrow's cap hit will be 16.92 % staring 2025. I am not certain but I do not believe any team has won the super bowl with the QB higher than 14% of cap. You factor in Chase's cap hit at 35 million per and the two players will be near 12% of cap. Therefore, approximately 29% of cap space will be for two offensive players in Burrow and Chase.
