Two for the price of one! Fox Sports and ESPN announce that Bengals have extended the contracts of Ja'mar Chase and Tee Higgins at the same time.
A big shopping trip for the leaders of Cincinnati, who gave 4 years and 161 million dollars in Chase. 112 million are guaranteed.
Enough to make him the best paid player in the history of the NFL outside the Quarterback post with an annual average of 40.25 million green tickets.
For Higgins, it's 4 years too, and $ 115 million.
Joe Burrow will therefore have one of the best duets of recipients from all over the NFL for a few more years.
Ja'Marr Chase, best NFL recipient?
With 127 receptions, 1708 yards and 17 touchdowns, Ja'mar Chase dominated all the statistical categories of the NFL at the reception. All at only 25 years old.
Even annoyed by injuries, Tee Higgins brought an ideal complement to Chase. In 2024, he captured 10 touchdowns in 12 games played. Bengals have always valued it, since it was retained with the Tag franchise for the second year in a row a few days ago.
With $ 69 million a year on its two star recipients, Cincinnati will be the team that will spend the most on its major duo, ahead of the Miami Dolphins, who give 58.3 million per season at Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
