The Cincinnati Bengals and paying top players big money hasn’t always been a pairing that has gone together. However, they did make Joe Burrow the highest-paid player in the NFL for a time and may look to set another benchmark for Ja’Marr Chase.
Taken fifth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, Chase has blossomed into arguably the best receiver in the NFL and could go down as the best receiver in Bengals history. His rookie contract is soon coming to an end, and the team is hoping to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback player.
