Mike Brown said he would do everything possible to get a new contract with Chase. If they play hardball this year, it just gets more expensive in the future. At least right now you still have 2 cheaper years to help lower the average cost per year with Chase. [Reply]

A year ago the Bengals announced Burrow's contract during the Chiefs opening night game. Obviously it was a middle finger to Mahomes and KC. I would not be surprised if the Bengals do this again with Chase's new contract. And it's a middle finger to the Ravens as well since they are involved in the opening night game next Thursday.

"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."
Omg, trade Chase and give Higgins 30 million a year. Yes please!! [Reply]

and you have to pretend to like some overrated restaurant like the big biscuit or stroud's to feel special
when I was there in the 90’s and 2000’s, Strouds had the best chicken in town. The big biscuit had an excellent breakfast. What happened to them? [Reply]
