Cincinnati is in the news again<\/a>, this time for a comment that Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase<\/a> made recently that has been turning heads. There was a big trade in the NFL this week when veteran edge rusher Myles Garrett was traded from fellow AFC North rival the Cleveland Browns<\/a> to the Sean McVay-led Los Angeles Rams<\/a>. The talk of Garrett being traded had been looming throughout the offseason. One has to think that any quarterback in the AFC North would be thrilled with that news, knowing they no longer have to fear being sacked by Garrett several times a year. Chase, however, did not seem to care one way or another whether Garrett got traded.<\/p>\n

Chase certainly did not hide his feelings on the matter of Garrett leaving the division for the NFC West.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood for us. I don\u2019t really care, but good for us,” Chase said to a group of reporters.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

While it wasn't necessarily on his mind, he and Tee Higgins had the same response:<\/p>\n
