Chase admitted he was “salty” about Mahomes successful back-to-back titles, nevertheless it’s admirable that he sticks by his man this tightly and refuses to talk fondly about their largest competitor.
Burrow is in search of a bounce-back marketing campaign after breaking his wrist final season and in the end derailing Cincinnati’s season completely, and he’ll have the luxurious of nonetheless having Chase and Tee Higgins as his prime two huge receivers despite the fact that each are clamoring for large contracts.
Burrow does have the excellence of getting a playoff victory over Mahomes on his resume, and he’s the one quarterback aside from Tom Brady to beat him within the postseason.
Earlier than final season, Burrow signed a five-year, $275 million contract extension that made him the highest-paid QB within the NFL.
Props to Chase for sticking by his man, and if Burrow stays wholesome this season, maybe he’ll show Chase proper.
