The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to longterm extensions with not one, but both of their superstar wide receivers, according to Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz. Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both appeared to confirm their deals with identical posts to X, sharing the handshake emoji as Schultz's report was posted,.
Higgins, who was placed on the franchise tag for the second consecutive year earlier in the offseason, signed a four-year deal worth $115 million, with the first two years guaranteed. Chase, meanwhile, will make $161 million over four years with $112 million guaranteed, eclipsing Myles Garrett's recent deal to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history.
