Ja’Marr Chase agrees to historic contract extension, Tee Higgins also re-ups in $276M Bengals bonanza
NY Post
The Bengals have come to agreements on contract extensions with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, keeping the wide receiver duo in Cincinnati for the next four years.
The new deals set new benchmarks for NFL contracts with Chase’s coming in at four years, $161 million with $112 million guaranteed and Higgins’ deal amounting to a four-year, $115 million deal with the first two years guaranteed, according to Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz.
The deal makes Chase the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history and Higgins is now the highest-paid No. 2 wide receiver in the league’s history.
The contracts are expected to be officially announced later this week, according to Schultz.
Both players appeared to confirm the deal in separate posts on social media.
Higgins posted a handshake emoji on X right after Schultz had initially posted the news.
