But, year...it isn't the $35 million a year that he probably wants.
We don't know how much of that $28m/yr is real and even that offer is just allegedly.
Chase was making $7.7m/yr. They waited an extra year to pay him and rather than having to give him less earlier they had to give him $40.25m/yr.
It wasn't Chase's fault they didn't pay him earlier when they could have paid less. Just like it's not Hendrickson's fault that they didn't pay him earlier when they could have paid him less.
Hell, two years ago Tee was only looking for $23m/yr, a Michael Pittman Jr type deal by his own words. The Bengals keep lowballing, delaying, and then having to pay more because of the delay. That's 100% on the FO.
