The Cincinnati Bengals have officially given contract extensions to both Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase, per Jordan Schultz.
The Bengals officially giving Higgins a long-term extension is a massive step forward for the front office (even if it took way too long), and Chase has officially become the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.
Ian Rapoport reported on Friday that the Bengals were very close to extending the two wide receivers, while James Rapien reported Saturday that the deals are effectively done.
Schultz broke the news Sunday night with the official contract numbers, and the Bengals PAID their guys what they deserve.
