The Cincinnati Bengals missed the postseason last year despite WR Ja’Marr Chase and his Triple Crown heroics. Considering as much, the organization certainly doesn’t want to see what life is like without him. After failing to present him with a satisfying extension last offseason, they have no choice but to get one done now.
And, of course, Chase gets to strike while the iron is hot. Last season, he finished with 127 catches for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. Every single one of those is a Bengals franchise record, the latter tied with Carl Pickens.
