This is old news by now, but if you haven’t heard…the Cincinnati Bengals did it. They signed Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to massive contracts late Sunday night.
This makes Chase the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history and Higgins the highest-paid WR2 in history.
Both contracts are marked up for four years, totaling a combined $276 million. Next season, the Bengals will be using 44% of their cap space on their offense, similar to the Philadelphia Eagles, but with one small difference...we’ll get into that in a second.
Let’s take a second for a quick celebration.
