The Cincinnati Bengals are expected to reset the wide receiver market with Ja’Marr Chase this offseason. With Justin Jefferson receiving a $35 million APY deal last year, Chase is expected to earn at least $36 million. While there is plenty of time for both sides to get there, however, it also sounds like it will be a long road.
According to Dianna Russini via The Athletic, the Bengals have submitted an offer to Chase already, “the two sides remain far apart for now”. She wrote this in an article on March 1, but reiterated the same position on X yesterday.
