The Cincinnati Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase likes to remind us that the San Francisco 49ers are not the only team with an unresolved wide receiver contract. Of course, you could say the same thing about CeeDee Lamb and the Dallas Cowboys.
Chase’s situation has arguably been the most interesting, however, at least in my opinion. A former first-round pick, Chase is only entering his fourth season, under contract through 2025. While he is eligible for an extension now, the Bengals did exercise his fifth-year option, giving them another controlling year.
The Bengals have struggled to admit it, but Ja’Marr Chase has been staging a hold-in throughout training camp.
