They can’t afford Chase now
That's the best part.
If they don't sign Chase and he walks, JoeyB is exposed as the VERY average QB he is.
If they do sign Chase to a quazillion dollars, the Bengals have no cap left for anyone else and likely to become an even bigger laughing stock going forward.
Meanwhile..
10-2 Josh Allen just won his 5th straight AFC East division title in a "rebuilding year", already has HOF stats, no elite star power around him, the best production in the NFL since 2020, and he did it in the type of weather everyone saw last night his entire career. If he had perfect weather conditions like Tua, Herbert, or Stafford, he would be destroying record books.
One of the worst things GM Brandon Beane ever did was believing his superstar franchise QB needed a top flight "elite" receiver when he got hosed for Diva Diggs. He should have just kept slowly building drafting hungry character guys who want to win. Because when your QB is Josh Allen, you don't need "elite weapons" like Chase, Higgins etc.
When he wins his Super Bowl(s), Avo will say JoeyB is still better than Josh and what may have been blah blah blah. Because excuses are the nails you use to build a house of failure
4-8!
