This really isn't about any other guy in that team. It's about Higgins. If they pay him AND Chase, they're building the opposite of what the actual contenders in the AFC have done. Good luck with that.

You can slice and dice it a half a dozen different ways. No surprise Burrow wants them to keep the passing game together. It's the thing that works best for them as a team and of course yes benefits him personally. I don't agree with keeping Higgins due to his injury-prone ways. But Burrow expressing that he's flexible with his own contract and the cap is not the primary roadblock puts some level of pressure on the organization to at least not be cash cheapskates, as they are known to do.
