Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase is among the many players in today’s NFL exercising their soft power: withholding services. The fourth-year perennial Pro Bowler has hardly practiced all offseason, and still isn’t practicing entering Week 1. We don’t know, sitting here today, if that will change in time, but according to Ian Rapoport, he has the Bengals talking contract. A big contract.
“The two sides are in talks to make him among the highest-paid receivers in the NFL, or the highest-paid receiver, higher than Justin Jefferson”, Rapoport said of Chase.
