Consider 2024 the year for wide receivers to get paid. The Cincinnati Bengals Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins hope to join the club. After A.J. Brown and Amon-Ra St. Brown received mega-deals this offseason with Brandon Aiyuk and Justin Jefferson likely to follow suit, the Bengals’ top two wideouts are skipping the start of voluntary OTAs as they angle for long-term contracts.
