Other locations, such as Central Park in Denver, have locked up an extraordinary amount of their merchandise. Customers now must find clerks to unlock products from cases and put them in a locked box to be unlocked at checkout.

Chase has been present with the Bengals throughout training camp, but he has rarely been on the practice field while negotiations on a monster extension take place. The three-time Pro Bowler is positioned to land a deal at or near the top of the receiver market, a commitment which (if finalized) will break with organizational tradition in terms of including guaranteed money beyond Year 1 of an extension. That was a requirement for Joe Burrow‘s pact, but it remains to be seen if one with a similar structure is worked out in Chase’s case.
