CINCINNATI — The Bengals Secure Future by Locking In Tee Higgins, Ja’Marr Chase
The Cincinnati Bengals made a major offseason splash by signing wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase to new contracts—moves that drew high praise from The Athletic’s Mike Sando, who called it his favorite decision by the team this offseason.
Sando emphasized how critical it was to bring resolution to the long-standing uncertainty.
“Re-signing superstar receiver Ja’Marr Chase had to be done, but there were no guarantees the negotiations would play out smoothly for the Bengals,” Sando wrote. “Cincy took the receiver market from $35 million per year (Justin Jefferson) to $40.25 million (Chase), keeping quarterback Joe Burrow and Chase himself happy. That was important.”
Although the road to signing both receivers wasn’t exactly smooth—and may have briefly impacted the team’s competitive momentum—the Bengals ultimately came through. With Higgins and Chase secured for years to come, Joe Burrow will continue working with his top targets well into the decade.
