The large receptor room for the Bengals in Cincinnati is one of the most fascinating position groups to follow this offseason. Already, he makes noise, the team choosing to hit Tee Higgins with the Franchise tag for the second consecutive season. And it is only one of the dominoes to die for. The biggest is his colleague receiver Ja’mar Chase, who is starting the last year of his recruit contract after the team has recovered its fifth year option.
Chase is due to an extension which is widely planned to reshape the market, but it does not seem that we are about to see this materialize. An offer has been made in pursuit, but the two parties remain distant, according to Athletics.
Bengals and Chase could not reach an agreement on an extension of the last season when it was eligible for the first time, and has since deposited these talks. With Chase entering the last year of his agreement, however, the accent is even more put on the realization of something. However, it will not be cheap. Chase has the case to become the widely paid wide receiver in the Nfl. An agreement of this magnitude should exceed the extension of 140 million dollars that the former LSU teammate, Justin Jefferson, signed with the last off -season of the Minnesota Vikings.
The Director of Bengals for Players Staff, Duke Tobin, recognized the NFL scout combination last week that Chase will end up with “Ended up being non-quarter n ° 1 in the league.” The NFL’s best paid non-quarter is currently Jefferson with an average annual salary of $ 35 million, so Chase will eventually jump on him. On its fifth year option, Chase should currently earn $ 21.8 million in 2025.
While Tobin expressed that the organization wants to “reward” the continuation of this extension soon and overwhelming, there would always be a gap between the two parties, which deserves to be monitored.

Chase was undoubtedly the best NFL wide receiver since Cincinnati selected it with the overall choice n ° 5 in 2021 NFL draft. The 25-year-old has just released his first season of the first All-Pro team in 2024 where he led the NFL in receptions, receiving yards and receiving affected. It is quite well timed and completely the exclamation point when it comes back to the negotiating table this offseason.
