Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase may not want to sign an extension in his first eligible offseason even after Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson set the market with his own record-breaking contract.
"League sources indicated Chase signing before this season would likely mean his camp giving up more than a little in the negotiation," The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. reported.
Dehner added: "There's still room for Chase— and his value— to grow in Cincinnati."
According to Dehner, the Bengals' negotiations will focus on how much guaranteed money it will take to keep Chase in Cincinnati.
