Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase suggested Friday that he wants a contract that far exceeds the record deal Justin Jefferson signed with the Minnesota Vikings in June.
While speaking to reporters, Chase responded to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport last month in which Rapoport said he believed Chase's goal was for his contract to beat Jefferson's "by one cent."
When asked about it, Chase responded, "If I want to beat Justin, I want to beat the s--t out of Justin. Not by a penny, brother."
Chase, who has two years left on his current contract, was a hold in throughout training camp and the preseason, but he practiced with the Bengals for the first time Wednesday despite there being no resolution on a new deal yet.
