However, the team still faces a more pressing issue regarding their star wide receiver, Ja'Marr Chase, who has yet to reach an agreement on an extension. With Chase's performance and potential market value, negotiations are expected to be complex and pivotal for both him and the franchise. Given Chase's impact on the team's offense, securing his long-term commitment will be crucial in maintaining their competitive edge in the league.
