I'm starting to worry Ja'Marr will actually sit out reg season games...opener six days away 😬

 

Good news on Mims.  I'm not worried about Chase sitting.  The WR position is the deepest position on the roster 

right now and this is the best TE room Joe has had since he's been here.

He's not playing a single down until extended. Book it. The entire season if necessary.

 

Which is why I'm hoping for a deal announced during Thurs night kickoff like Burrow's was. 💰

It wont be the entire season, at some point he loses out on the ability to accrue a year and has to continue on the current contract in terms of number of years. Hell play this year, lets just hope its sooner than later.

... Not if he's "injured". Very hard to disprove a back injury. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. 

I don't believe J'Marr would go that route.

Regardless if his contract dispute ( guaranteed money?) he's not going to pull that off.

He'd be disrespected by his teammates for such a stunt.

He hasn't practiced and hasn't said anything about an injury.  He claims an injury and the Bengals can put him on the NFI list

and he won't count against the 53 man roster for 4 weeks.  

NFI=Non Football Injury/Illness.

If a player is placed in NFI, he will not be paid while he remains on NFI

 

Ja'Marr's game checks are basically nothing this year (1 mill). So he wouldn't care about those when a 110 million guarantee is on the line.

... The injury would only come the week before he has to officially play to earn his years credit (Week 9 or something). He would practice for real that week and "pull" a back muscle.

Maybe not.  But they'd know he's full of shit and after he gets off the NFI list after the 4 weeks, they could suspended him another 4 games for

"conduct detrimental to the team", and recoup the roster bonus paid a couple weeks ago and go after 1/4th of his signing bonus.
