Higgins is a holdout. No other way around it. He has nothing to play for. Seeing now he is unlikely to play against the Chiefs.

A bad attitude is not going to help him win a big contract with another team.

The issue is nobody in the league sees this as an attitude problem. I promise you there are 31 other owners that will give Higgins his payday and not think twice about it.

That is sadly true.

I can’t believe I’m going to say this but im so on the bengals side with both Higgins and chase. They’re not doing either of them wrong.

Higgins is making 21 MILLION FREAKING DOLLARS this year
Chase has 2 FREAKING YEARS left on his deal

From James Rapien at SI.com regarding Chase's extension...

The two sides were close to an agreement, league sources say. In fact, the Bengals offered Chase a four-year, $140 million contract with $90 million guaranteed. That guaranteed money included a $30 million signing bonus.

Those raw numbers worked for Chase's camp, sources tell Bengals On SI. The lone snag in the agreement had to do with when guarantees would kick in.

Chase was willing to sign a four-year extension that would've put him under contract through the 2029 season, sources say. His camp wanted the guaranteed money and injury protections to kick in earlier in the deal. That's when talks broke down.

Essentially, the two sides couldn't agree on when Chase's guarantees would vest (become fully guaranteed).

The Bengals' offer pushed it down the line (2027), which would protect the franchise over the next few seasons. Meanwhile, Chase didn't have the assurance of guarantees early in the contract, which puts him at risk if he were to suffer a serious injury.

________________

I can honestly see both sides here. Trying to wait until 2027 to give Chase the bulk of the guarantees is pushing it a bit. OTOH This would give Chase around $55 million this year and next, all of which is actually or effectively guaranteed, which ain't pocket change. Sucks they couldn't close the gap.

Look man I saw the ball hit the ground, he lost control I do not believe it was a TD. They got the call right and frankly I don't believe that the league office really said it shouldn't have been overturned.
