NFL Rumors: Ja'Marr Chase, Bengals in Talks to Top Historic Justin Jefferson Contract

The Cinncinnati Bengals and star Ja'Marr Chase are negotiating a contract extension that could potentially make him the highest-paid wide receiver in the league, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

"The two sides are in talks for a deal that would make him among the highest-paid receivers in the NFL or the highest-paid receiver, higher than Justin Jefferson," Rapoport said on Monday (1:00 mark).

He added that there is "nothing done yet," but "progress" has been made in discussions.

Chase has been holding in during practice at various points throughout Cincinnati's training camp as he attempts to secure a new deal.
