The Bengals aren’t winning the Super Bowl WITHOUT Ja’Marr Chase! - Jeff Saturday | Get Up

the availability of Jamar Chase remains maybe the biggest unanswered question in the sport he hasn't been practicing with his team he's looking for a contract extension he has two years left on the deal here was shefy yesterday on what the timeline for this week looks like if he's going to play at all this week against New England that deal has to get figured out in the next 48 hours the key thing here is that the Bengals play the Chiefs next week in week two yeah and that becomes to me a real leverage point for Jamar Chase because if somehow someway he's still not practicing and not playing in that game against that team that impacts your ability in a game that could very well have seating ramifications later in the season all kinds of ramifications right so that cheffy with McAfee and the guys yesterday and and look one of this thing get resolved one of two ways either he gets a new deal or he just acases and decides okay I'm not going to get it this year I'm going to come in and play that second one just based on what's happened so far feels unlikely yeah I mean I hope he doesn't play I I I understand how difficult it is for guys to sit out but the tough thing about this situation is this him signing a deal is what's right for everyone why are we even going to pretend like he's not going to be the highest paid receiver as soon as he signs the deal he's that good we know that you want to keep him long term you would have been better off if you paid him before JJ got his money cuz now you have to anymore so keep waiting it just doesn't make sense to me why this organization perpetually puts themselves in a situation where it suggests to us that they don't really want to be successful there's no reason to have Jamar Chase sitting at home and have him reacting to head coach comments he needs to be at work with a ton more money in his bik account amen I agree if I wanted to play Devil's Advocate I would say that Justin Jefferson and CD lamb and these guys generally got their deals after their fourth year he's after his third year this isn't generally the way business has been getting done but it's to your advantage to get it done makes and if you are Jamar Chase's Camp you're saying oh you know what his recent history has shown me the squeaky wheels will get paid you saw with Chris Jones missing a game and suddenly it was like okay no no no no we got to get this guy locked in Debo Bosa Trent Williams auk Derwin James all of these guys said hey pay me my money yeah and these teams understand it's about are you trying to win a Super Bowl or not because without Jamar Chase the Bengals not winning well that that's the key the 100% the key is you're playing the easiest schedule in your division burrow is coming back off his second injured plague year right like understand what you have at stake and and to uh Kimberly's point you ain't winning the Super Bowl without Jamar Chase and the whole thing that that like that um shefy was saying listen he's played with Joe burrow in like they he don't need a l he needs reps physically for his soft tissue all that kind ofu but as far as mentally knowing what he's got to do this dude could go out and play right now he's he's got to get physically ready what I don't know what he's doing to train for it but but make no mistake they the the the Bengal are hurting themselves by not getting him signed and that's that's a bad that's a bad yeah I think they have an opportunity right now with t Higgins contract coming to an end it seems like obvious that he's going to go away with um Burrow's injury history you don't have so many times to have a chance at it right now is an opportunity to go and you're we would criticize a player who was uh not coming in and doing the best thing he can to give his team a chance to win we need to do the same thing for a fan base in an organization represent the fan base to the organization you are undercutting one of the few opportunities that you have to win a championship [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
