Ja'Marr Chase is not planning to renegotiate a long-term deal with the Cincinnati Bengals this season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Bengals wide receiver reportedly believes the team misled him during the offseason as he sought a new contract.
Per Schefter, Chase claims the Bengals told him following the 2023 season and during this past offseason that an extension would be coming. That did not happen and the team ultimately only picked up the 24-year-old's fifth-year option, which sees his salary jump from $1.1 million this season to a fully guaranteed $21.
