CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase stood in front of his locker and swayed back and forth as he pondered the most important aspect of his upcoming contract extension.
During the media session in January, Chase eventually settled on "up-front money" but later clarified it as guaranteed money. But the particulars are a bit trickier. When asked if he wanted that guaranteed cash stretched into the second year of a potential deal, the usually loquacious Chase zipped up.
"You're going a little too far now, buddy," Chase said with a slight smirk.
