We are looking at worst case scenario for a Chase extension.

The likelihood of Chase winning big after betting on himself is incredibly high right now.  The team has no choice but to pay him what he wants, which is more than it was 5 weeks ago or have him hold out and show his ass.  

This was a dumb move and will be judged as an unforced error by the organization.  At the time, I thought Chase was being greedy, but the joke guarantees are not up to par with what a player of his caliber should expect.  

He's stands to make a shit ton of cash while the Bengals have a horrific season during his peak productivity.  

This was cap management malpractice in every way.

Kind of difficult for them to sign the guy to what he wants when the team can't come up with the guaranteed at signing amount. They need to work on securing more outside investment into the team.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
