Hill was extended at a max value after 3 years in the league and then played 3 more years with KC before being traded before his last year. If the Bengals want to follow that model Chase would be extended for thru 2028 and then traded before the 2028 season.
Bengals did restructure Mixon twice to help with the cap and then traded him for a bag of chips before his money came due. I'm guessing that agents around the league noticed that the Bengals did him dirty.
If they wanted to get value for Tee they would have extended him before last year for less than he was paid with the franchise tag and be in a position to trade him now.
They would have sought to trade Boyd before last year.
They should have got the deal done with Chase before this year.
They should have extended Trey for more than 1 year which would have kept him happy and put the Bengals in a better trade position.
This off season they should be looking at extending Dax Hill and CTB in addition to Chase, not least to avoid Hill's $9.4M option year.
But the Bengals have avoided guaranteed money and extensions until they had to start in order to complete.
