Below is a post on a Bengals forum. This guy seems to be in favor of playing hardball with Chase. Good luck with that approach!
"The team is enabling this...We need to start fining Chase under conduct detrimental to the team for each practice he misses from this point onward. If he doesn’t practice next week, we should suspend him for 3 games as allowed under the CBA so he can’t collect game checks."
"The team has no duty to both renegotiate Chase's contract two years early and make him the highest paid player at his position. He is not negotiating in good faith and essentially wants it all. While Zac Taylor protected Chase all preseason, that time needs to end because it shows a clear bias towards Chase that we cannot and should not provide to others in the future. Start holding him accountable with the tools in the CBA. If that kills the relationship, so be it."
"When Tyreek Hill began to be a problem in KC about his contract wanting raises constantly, they shipped him to Miami. We shouldn’t be beyond moving Chase if we can’t get control of this situation. Two 1st Round Draft picks and a player could go a long way. You then resign Tee Higgins at $30M per year and move on. People say without Chase we won’t win a Super Bowl, but I say with this circus we won’t get it done either. We paid Burrow to be able to do what Mahomes does and that’s to win with what he has…we need to trust that decision." [Reply]
This should honestly surprise no one. Mike Brown was never going to allow this franchise to remain a threat. Burrow will end up pulling a Carson Palmer on them at some point, assuming Chris Jones doesn’t send him into early retirement himself first. [Reply]
We’ve been on both sides of this equation. I’ve got to say that I’m really enjoying this ‘stable franchise’ side better than the ‘total shit show’ side. [Reply]

Two other receivers in Chase's draft class already got contract extensions this year, even though they still had 2 years left on their rookie deals. [Reply]

Jesus... red text? I feel like I'm in a blue light bathroom trying to find a vein... [Reply]

That would be funny. Get beat and then the "how do you like me now?" moment [Reply]
