CINCINNATI — Ja'Marr Chase may be holding in to start 2024 training camp. The fourth-year playmaker is set to make just under $5 million in total salary this season and ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting he wants a new contract.

"Ja’Marr Chase is scheduled to make $1 million in base salary this season and $4.86 million overall," Schefter tweeted on Thursday. "He wants a new contract; Mike Brown didn’t make it sound imminent this week. This situation isn’t over."

What Zac Taylor framed as easing into training camp has turned into consecutive days of no-practice time to start the festivities. Chase has yet to speak to the media this summer, but Joe Burrow didn't make it sound like a rest or recovery issue to start camp.

"We've had our discussions that I'll keep private, but his business is his business," Burrow said about Chase. "And he's out here encouraging guys, and I'm not entirely sure what his plan is at this point. I know he's with us 100%. And so when he's ready to come back out there and practice we'll be ready to have him and I know that he's going to be physically and mentally ready, whenever you step back out here and he's going to be the Ja'Marr Chase that everybody knows that he is."

Cincinnati has every incentive possible to give Chase a market-setting deal and put this to bed. The big question is will they break their guaranteed money stance for a non-quarterback?
