Ja'Marr Chase Holding Out in Contract Dispute

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is holding out from training camp practices as negotiations for his contract extension continue. Despite his absence from the field, Chase is present at the camp and remains in regular communication with the team. Quarterback Joe Burrow, who recently secured his own contract extension, has been offering Chase advice based on his experiences, expressing optimism that a deal will be reached. Bengals president Mike Brown emphasized their commitment to signing Chase long-term, although the receiver is still under his rookie contract for two more seasons. Burrow believes it will take only a couple of practices for Chase to get back up to speed once the contract situation is resolved. The team is hopeful to finalize the deal before the regular season begins on September 9th.
