Ja'Marr Chase Expressed Desire to Stay With Cincinnati Bengals Long Term Earlier This Year
CINCINNATI — Ja'Marr Chase didn't participate in any of the Bengals' 17 practices during training camp, but the 24-year-old worked with the team on Sunday and Monday.
Chase is hoping to sign a long-term extension with the Bengals before the start of the season. The three-time Pro Bowler hasn't spoken with the media since the start of the offseason program in May.
Chase's decision to "hold-in" during training camp has gotten plenty of national attention, but he made his intentions perfectly clear during Super Bowl week.
"My future [is] bright in Cincinnati," Chase said. "I know I'm gonna be there the majority of my career, if not forever."
Veteran safety Vonn Bell also helped Chase learn and understand what contract negoatiations can be like and the business side of football.
"Vonn Bell was the first person that really sat there and gave me vet game on contracts, on football, on organizations," Chase said. "Vonn Bell gave me a big leap in the game and I couldn't say nothing but thank you."
It's worth noting that Chase made these comments in February during Super Bowl week. They're still noteworthy, since he hasn't spoken to the media in months.
