Ja’Marr Chase has been an essential part of Cincinnati’s offense ever since he joined the league. Quarterback Joe Burrow has been adamant that the team needs to sign both of these players.
It is well known that the Bengals are notorious for being cheap when it comes to negotiating contracts and extending long-term deals with players. When it came time for Burrow to negotiate, they couldn’t afford to lowball him.
“He deserves all he’s gonna get and more. Hopefully we can play together for as long as we’re in this league,” Burrow said of Chase.
