Adam Schefter BREAKING: Ja’Marr Chase is "legitimately questionable" to play vs Pats for “illness”

one man right there Tyreek Hill Tyreek Hill going to have a big day is Jamar Chase going to have any day at all that's the big question we've been waiting all offseason long did he get a new deal no to this point he has not gotten a new deal and now he's ill and not expected to play a lot today even if he does he's talking a lot about money in fact he was asked this week about Justin Jefferson's $35 million a year and this is what Chase said if I want to beat Justin I'm going to beat out of Justin not byy a penny brother so it's just you know what's right do you think that you're the best wide receiver in I know for a fact I am is he going to get his money we'll find out is he going to play today let's find out Chey what do we know well he has the money he wants in the deal the question is the structure of the deal and as of last night greeny the two sides were unlikely to get a deal done in time for today's game now you throw in the fact that he's got an illness as well and he is questionable I'm told it'll be up to Jamar Chase to decide whether or not he feels like he can play today and he is legitimately questionable for today's game against the Patriots in a game in which T Higgins the other wide receiver is not expected to play due to a hamstring this Chase situation has gone on all summer long he has yet to take a full practice with the team in 11 on 11 football work we'll see if he can get out there today that's going to be up to him but that contract as of last night looked like it wasn't going to happen all right whether he gets the money or not Randy you were saying last night there's there's football shape and then there's wide receiver shape so he's not going to be in it what can he do today even if he does suit it up and play I just think that of course he's going to be on a pitch count but just having his presence out there for his quarterback and let me say this man Jamar Chase hasn't earned his contract you talking about Jamar Chase talking about he wants more money than Justin Jefferson let me take stay with me for a minute greeny what did he do in college the man was the Belinda C Winer then he took a whole year off from football then he comes back in and picks up pick up right where he left off with his college qu back and Joe burrow hey they the timing is the thing though with two years left on the deal I think that's the whole thing I mean this is the Cincinnati Bengals te I mean I'd be shocked if this is done with in terms of Mike Brown saying two years left on a deal okay let's make this guy the highest paid receiver in the NFL when I mean it's almost I mean and if if he has two years left on his deal you telling they're going to make him the highest paid wide receiver next year is that what they're going to do if they're going to make him the highest paid wide receiver this man's not coming today Joe matter of fact who is Joe barl throwing to today he needs to be out in the football field for this franchise and his quarterback I don't care what the future holds for them Jamar Chase if there's no Jamar Chase there's no Joe B had a similar situation happened with the Jets I had the best corner in football and derell Rivas had two years left on the deal and even though the owner and I thought we had a 10year deal with them but that thing got messed up but anyway uh long story boring we end up going going out like came you know last probably like two May maybe 5 days before the uh uh the opening game and it's like man it looks like it's not going to get done and I was so fed up with it to the point where I'm like dude you got two years left you know honor it and all that I know you've outplayed your contract but you did sign it so either way RIS they we get a little Band-Aid done well what happens in the game we come back of course I play him I'm no dummy right I play them oh yeah and he pops a hamstring some chasing that guy some guy scores a touchdown a oneand catch this is a little different listen this guy's been underpaid for since he stepped foot on LS campus and he didn't get to negotiate his rookie contract this was slotted they told him where he go where he had to go and what he could play for he has absolutely outplayed this he is one of the best football players in the NFL pay this guy what are we doing get him on the field outside the box to do it with two years left I I age he's outside the box man deserves to get paid is he one of the best yes I mean I agree I don't know if he's the best but he's one of the best and for the Cincinnati Bengals to go outside the box two year two years ear early in terms of the they made an exception for Joe burrow I he's a quarterback and I understand you treat quarterbacks different are different the contract is going to be bigger a year from now Teddy at the end of the day these contracts don't get cheaper if you sign him now you're signing him for less than you are next year just ask Fat Joe yesterday's price is not today's price they should sign Jamar Chase because it makes sense for him and it makes sense for them but the reality is I think we all expect they will not do it so does that mean that they fall off today could they even find themselves losing a game to New England with a game against Kansas City coming up next week man Gerard first rookie head coach Gerard Mayo going against the Cincinnati bingo where they do not have their man hey don't don't forget they just lost Joe Mixon two last year so I don't know where the production on the offensive side is going to come from but you got a thirsty rookie head coach coming in we know what the defense for the New England Patriots hey man watch out for upset all right we so we got that game on the the most important thing we're going to do one morning long for you here program because this is a whole new look for the Buffalo Bills they've had the most roster turnover in the entire NFL you know about Stefon digs traded to Houston four of the five Bills wide receivers who caught a pass last year are no longer on this team and then maybe just as importantly the defense losing four key players including the two starting safeties and the All Pro linebacker Matt Milano's out until at least December with a torn BP so it's a time of some significant change in Buffalo the bills are a seven-point favored at home against Arizona today Rex are you worried about Buffalo absolutely absolutely look sha mcder is a great coach defensive coach they've always played great on defense right now this is a bad matchup and look the Arizona Cardinals I know it's seven the line seven this is a live dog an absolute live dog Kyler Murray is going to carve him up in my opinion Trey McBride is a horrible matchup for the entire NFL let alone this safe you know this group with two backup safeties or new safeties if you will I I have a a real issue here I think the the uh the Murray McBride matchup this you're going to watch it all day man last year at the end of end of the season this guy was just lighting the entire league up and I expect the same and you have Marvin Harrison Jr now on the out side I mean Kyler Murray this we the last time they played what happened BR you and I were talking about ha muray that H goes off yes I mean it's KY Kyler Murray in September okay he is 100% he is ready to go he is healthy explosive quick he can be a headache but in terms of you being worried about Buffalo I mean how are your concerns on Josh Allen because eventually these great quarterbacks I'm talking great ones which I feel Josh Allen is you're going to have a revolving do receiver you're going to have guys coming in and coming out and now I think this is Josh Josh's perfect opportunity to show that I am great I mean me and me and khil Shakir are going to have a great relationship Curtis Samuel is new the tight end concade all of this I I still expect offive too Keon Coleman sure yeah know you speaking you speaking about his his Playmakers there one thing that that really stood out to me this this uh this summer was being able to watch a young rookie receiver like Keon com away from the football field so all this talk about Buffalo and their concerns I think for me their concerns will be on the defensive side but right here this young man right here all you heard was the praise coming out of the mini camps the training camp what I'm looking for today is the see how they will utilize a guy like Curtis Samuels A guy like Keon Coleman would he play on the outside reck or will they move him in a slot because the man can run he's not that fast he's more Elusive and quick so his separation will be a must-watch today but I'm also giving some props and the shots out to Demar Hamlin the safety for the Buffalo Fields getting his first start today so I'm actually excited very cool Rex I totally agree with you I think the Cardinals are going to be better especially on offense however this this idea that the bills still aren't the bills I think's ridic ridiculous I know they've had a ton of turnover all those names though that we put up on defense guess what they haven't really played in the last couple years they've been so injured on that side of the ball and guess who they still have they still have Josh Allen I mean this guy's had 40 plus touchdowns the last four years he's the only man in NFL history to do that he's still there and in a lot of ways I think the the low expectations and less noise listen we're not going to be up here every single week talking about how many catches Stefon Diggs had and is he upset think that's going to free Josh up I think I think this might be the best Josh we see I think that occupied a lot of Buffalo also not only receivers but Josh is is how's Stefan doing is Stefan is Stefan eating do we do we do we get him enough targets I mean what's his mentality sometimes that can be a distraction it's draining Josh said this week it's draining quarterback Josh said this week that the mantas is Everybody Eats don't y'all get it don't I guess I guess that means he's going to spread it around don't get it messed up here Stefon Diggs was some drama in Buffalo but but he will be highly missed all se but there's another real quick there's another guy on the offensive side I got a highlight James Cook is giving him a third down back somebody to rely on so watch but the reality is from the time they made the coordinator change last year to Joe Brady they became a run heavy offense anyway this could be a totally different looking offense from what we've been accustomed to seeing with Josh Al the last few years Stefan Diggs and whomever they're all arriving today it's the Cardinals in the bills Rex thinks the cards are a live dog who we got showing up this morning oh Stefon Diggs is in Houston now Cardinals and bills pants ready to go and Stefan digs they up here talking about you st ready go Adam shefer what's coming up all right greeny the Packers quarterback Jordan love avoid you know I keep it all right we got a feature what called ry's candy you're going to give us three receivers that you think are going to go off today and you can use these for Fantasy purposes or you know any other purposes you may have Randy go well let me go down to the ATL man I talked about Kurt Cousins coming off this injury well this is the best off that his man has played in because he has a big Target on the outside in Drake London that's my third that's who I'm looking at with my eye candy today down there in the ATL against the Pittsburgh still I think this will be a huge day for Drake London and his offense but number two they're on the road it's a divisional game before this man got hurt last year this man was lights out had this offense playing at a high level for number two my eye candy Randy screeny going against the Colts in the divisional game on the road zoner man uh CJ Stout is going to find take I hope they play zone to be a big day for tank Dale but number one ry's candy man come on y'all get the St patch get the stour patch right here huh hey man it's my man Tyreek Hill right here man how will he be utilized to this offens to day you talking about September everybody is fresh so the Jags got their work cut out for could this possibly be a 200 yard receiving day for Tyreek H I don't know greeny but you talk about Randy candy that's my number foreign speech speech speech speech Shee speech speech no look at like that for foreign foreign speech for speech fore foreign foreign
