To say the Cincinnati Bengals giving both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins monster contract extensions has been controversial would be an understatement.
For Bengals fans, the conversation is a non-starter—the Bengals got it right while keeping Joe Burrow happy. In Cincinnati, especially, keeping the star quarterback happy is a pretty important point.
But not everyone agrees. One analyst accused the Bengals of getting it wrong, while a former head coach actually ripped Burrow for the contract signings.
Colin Cowherd landed in the middle on a recent "The Herd" episode, saying the Bengals performed a necessary evil.
