CINCINNATI (WXIX) - The Bengals and wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins reportedly agreed to record-breaking contract extensions that will keep them in Cincinnati for the foreseeable future.
Chase gets four years and $161M with $112M guaranteed — making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, reports NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero.
Higgins’s contract is $115M for four years with the first two years guaranteed, making him the highest-paid second-leading wide receiver, according to Pelissero.
Both players appeared to confirm the deal in separate posts on social media.
Higgins posted a handshake emoji on X right after Schultz had initially posted the news.
Chase had shared a post by Schultz on his Instagram Story: “my brotha man @teehiggins.”

NFL Network reported Friday there was “significant progress” on both contracts.
On Saturday, Sports Illustrated cited league sources saying “the deals are done.”

He put up historic numbers last season, winning the receiving Triple Crown, and unanimous first-team All-Pro selection.
Here is a look at Chase’s stats through his four years in the NFL:
