Best Case Scenario Ja'Marr Chase Should Be Traded Away?!? | Off the Bench Clips

yeah I look I'm not gonna I was annoyed right off the bat when I saw that yesterday with Jamar Chase not gonna lie right off the bat I'm like are you kidding like even I had bought into the fact that everything was smooth and cool going into week one B of mind is people think that I'm rooting for the Bengals to fail I'm not my thing is I just I don't think you know what the word best case scenario means oh I do think from a business standpoint this is the best case scenario no one's going to agree the tweet's up on the screen now so I said best case scenario for the Bengals and I I knew I did not expect any Bengals fan to truly agree but again I'm Bengals fan so I'm I'm using logic with this now that sounds like I'm taking a shot I'm not fans want the best players on the field at all times the Chiefs wanted Tyreek Hill you couldn't have Tyreek Hill you had to balance that money across uh the the roster of course there's a reason they've won back-to-back Super Bowls you could say oh it's just because they have Travis Kelce no it's because some of that money was used to keep some of the weapons on the defensive side of the ball to keep that offensive line bulked up there's reasons to it but I said best case scenario for the Bengals Jamar Chase I don't think is going to miss games I could see Casey I agree with you I think that week one game could be used just to send a message and be like all right I'm sorry I'm back you know kind of like with with Chris Jones I could actually see two weeks that Chiefs game in week two I could see Jamar chase looking at the front office and saying all right go beat the Chiefs without me go show that you know but there's an opportunity there for that to backfire so the reason I put this tweet out was I said best case scenario for the Bengals Jamar Chase sits out games their offense balls out in his absence they realize that they don't need Jamar Chase because you all want Jamar Chase do you need Jamar Chase I I I don't know load up draft picks by treading Jamar they save money by signing T Higgins instead if Joe bur is as good as you all say he is why does he need Jamar Chase he wants Jamar Chase there's a difference need and want completely two different things the Chiefs have won back-to-back Super Bowls since trading Tyreek Hill they wanted Tyreek Hill they clearly didn't need Tyreek hill now I keep getting a lot of the same responses back all right let's not act like Patrick Mahomes doesn't have anybody he has Travis Kelce super Travis Kelce doesn't equal an ENT higher wide receiver core if you go look at Travis Kel's numbers he's an elite W he's an elite tight end his numbers aren't number two wide receiver uh T Higgins numbers you know with the Cincinnati Bengals I love Travis Kelce I know not a lot of you guys do I love Travis Kelce there's no there's no doubt that he is the the the straw that stirs that drink over there but let's be clear bottom line is is the chiefs were able to use that 30 million a year that Tyreek Hill wanted and able to balance that throughout the roster it was a good business decision on the chief's part you pay the tight end the highest amount of money in the league is about 156 mil a year that's half of what you would had to pay Tyreek Hill the savings that they used for that the draft picks they got they were able to load up the defensive side of the ball and there's obviously levels to it you got to draft you got to develop you know but at the end of the day I'm not saying that this is going to happen but this idea that the Cincinnati Bengals need Jamar chase you need him with Joe burrow that's not true if if Jamar if if Patrick Mahomes can lose Tyreek Hill and when back-to-back Super Bowls I'm pretty sure Joe burrow can lose Jamar Chase might be not the most ideal but Ty I'm sorry T Higgins I'm sorry I thought he was a number one wide receiver isn't that what you guys told me we talk about this wide receiver core this wide receiver CT is awesome best receiving Corn football now it's not like you guys were willing to crap on your own team just to tell me I'm wrong on this I I don't understand that if Joe burrow is Patrick Mahomes level which I I believe that he is let's not sit here and act like he couldn't get it done without Jamar Chase maybe it wouldn't be ideal Who the hell's coming in is this who I think it is is it oh yes it is hi tell everyone Hi hey guys I don't know if they can see me but hey guys tell him belated happy anniversary there you go so yeah I got destroyed uh for this tweet and and I figured that would be the case but I'm here to tell you A lot of people that aren't Bengals fans and not Bengals haters this isn't the craziest idea in the world so this idea that Jamar Chase has all this leverage he wants to create leverage which is why I could see him missing games one and two especially that Chiefs game go beat the Chiefs without me well they beat the Chiefs without him that could work against them they lose to the Chiefs without him it could be that Jones scenario where oh you do need me give me my damn money we'll see what happens so I that tweet it it's not a as anti- Bengals as it is just not giving the Chiefs their due because that team is a great team man uh they have the best interior offensive line probably in all football for the last three or four years they have they have a top five defense now that led them all the way to the super for the most part Chris Jones is going to be a Hall of Fame defensive tackle one day uh I don't know man like Travis Kelce you even kind of like alluded to that he's not like this great receiving option either he never said B he borderline or he will be a first bout Hall of Famer for one last year was almost an outlier in his entire career he's had over a, I would say even 1,200 yards every season since momes and he's had just he's been basically the number one option despite when Tyreek Hill was there uh so it's really when you're talking about the Tyreek Hill trade it was really trading away their number two option in my mind rather than trading away their number one option so I couldn't understand that take if it was if we were talking about t Higgins here 100% but this is Jamar chase this is a guy that has that ability like Travis Kelce to be dominant for years I don't know this if I can say the same thing about t Higgins I don't know uh he's not shown that yet to be the most dominant receiver in all football Jamar Chase has you can make an argument that he is the number one receiver in all football you can't say the same thing about t Higgins so that's why I think a lot of people had that disconnect with you in your tweet I don't necessarily disagree with it though in the the concept of like the best case scenario is winning without Jamar Chase because then it's a it's a winpoint you don't in all seriousness though this isn't a trolling segment I I swear on a stack of Bibles whatever you want to put in front of me you don't think that the front office would be a little thrilled they go start out 3 And1 4-0 they beat the Chiefs without Jamar Chase like you don't think that Mike Brown and and Duke Tobin would sit back and say h h like we know from a fantasy booking standpoint LSU fans Bengals fans you want that but you don't you don't think think that the front office would really be cheering for them to win without Jamar Chase because that's a double wh you win without Jamar Chase and then you win from a business standpoint I absolutely agree they would be the front office would be excited about Jamar Chase winning without Jamar Chase but I still don't think it's the best case scenario I think the best case scenario is locking up Jamar long term cor yeah that I don't I don't disagree with your gen with the take of the tweet I think it's a good point that the Bengals would benefit from winning without Jamar would drive his price down that's basically just a fact I don't the holdup is like the first three words the Tweet words say best case scenario because I don't think in any in any way shape or form business-wise whatever any way you spin it the best I could walk that back I'll agree to W to walk that back that's fair I guess for the best case scenario standpoint was inip if you even add for ownership I think I agree yeah so for ownership I guess that was my point was that like they're they're sitting back like see we don't we don't need them uh so yes I'm willing to meet you halfway this is where I take your side with the whole Guardians thing where it's like sure it would be better to win with a cheaper roster but I also just want Mike Brown to pay Jamar Chase I don't know if it'd be a cheaper roster it would just be reallocated funds to the like yeah no less bigname players fair enough fair enough Casey I'm sorry we cut off no I I don't think it necessarily drives down jamar's price because I think he would go get that money for from a different team but but I do think that if they do win without him it is it is a great thing because then when you do sign him your team's even better right so like that's what I'm you're right it's a win-win regardless of how you out of the so like in my mind I I agree with the premise of the tweet that that is best case scenario like if he does decide to sit out games and they win without him that that's great for this season and it's great moving forward I don't think that's a lose lose on anyone's plate except for maybe Jamar but he's going to get that money regardless so to me I don't disagree it's just that I think the idea of trading him uh is is just you can't compare that to what the Chiefs did with Tyreek Hill in my mind I think that's that's a little disingenuous on how good the Chiefs are in general and uh doesn't necessarily reflect what the where the team is at with the Bengals right now well
