Duke Tobin had to have made one of the all-time stupidest statements regarding signing Chase to a new contract: "He's going to end up being the number one paid non-quarterback in the league."
Why would you even make such a statement? Now you are at the mercy of what other teams do, such as Cleveland with Garrett. There was absolutely no value in making such a statement.
And who were the geniuses that didn't sign Chase and Tee last year? Chase could have been signed for probably 35 million/year last year and Tee maybe for $22 million/year. Now the Bengals are looking at a minimum of 40million/year for Chase and probably over $30 million/year for Higgins.
