Eventually, Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase will start to wonder whether he's fairly paid at $40 million. Especially as more players who aren't Ja'Marr Chase approach and pass his APY.

Chase's $40M APY may feel less elite as other receivers approach it.

Chase is currently at $40 million per year with the Bengals; as more receivers who aren't Chase approach and pass his APY—like Flowers at $35M—Chase will eventually start to wonder whether he's fairly paid, given the market trajectory and rising salary cap.
