Sources: Bengals closer to Chase, Higgins deals
Briefly

The Cincinnati Bengals are prioritizing contract extensions for star wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, aiming for swift agreements. With Chase entering the last year of his contract and Higgins tagged again, both are expected to sign long-term deals soon. Reports suggest Chase’s upcoming contract may average between $40.1 million and $41 million, potentially making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. This comes amid a relatively quiet free agency for the Bengals, marked by a few significant player re-signing deals.
The team's front office is actively working to get wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins signed to contract extensions as quickly as possible, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday afternoon.
The expectation around the league is that Chase's contract will average between $40.1 million to $41 million, sources told Schefter, which would make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history.
