Maybe they should just give the new contract to Tee Higgins? He seems like a more mature person than Chase. Easier to deal with on a contract perhaps. Ship Chase out of town in a major trade and get some really good draft capital from another team. Avoid having to play hardball when Chase demands $40M per year while not actually performing at that level on the field in 2023 and 2024.

Problem with paying Higgins and trading Chase is that Higgins is injury-prone AF.
If they'd been aggressive about trading Higgins and maybe packaging him with #18, they could have gotten up pretty high and taken Nabers or Odunze or Fashanu. Instead they stayed put and took an injury-prone physical specimen at RT who doesn't LOVE football.
