And Chase likely wants $40 million a year. While Chase is an amazing receiver, and they kind of have to do it...Chase likely isn't going to improve on his stats much from last year. So you'll basically be paying him double for similar or slightly worse stats.

I think the rub with the Bengals is when you have an elite QB, do you need 2 elite WR's? Teams like the Saints with Brees and Colts with Manning only had 1 and then a strong running game.

The Colts were kind of a total package offense when they won it all in '06.  Harrison had 1300+ yards and 12 TD's, Reggie Wayne had 1300+ yards and 9 YD's, and they had two solid receiving TE's in Dallas Clark and Ben Utecht.  Addai was the lead RB that year topping 1000 yards and also caught 40 passes.  Having 2 elite WR's allowed them to play a lot of 12 to help the run game.  Ironically, they won it all the year after Edgerrin James left.
