Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been pretty vocal about standout wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase's search for a long-term contract, and he reaffirmed that position once again during the skills portion of the NFL's Pro Bowl Games on Thursday night.

CINCINNATI — Duke Tobin doesn't sound very optimistic about Cincinnati's chances of keeping Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase under contract for years to come. He discussed the "hard" task of pulling that off with The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway.

The Bengals will have a hard time re-signing both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins during the upcoming offseason.

Chase has one year remaining on his rookie deal in which he is set to earn $21.5 million. He's however targeting the title of the NFL 's highest-paid wide receiver, which would surpass his former LSU teammate, Justin Jefferson, who currently earns $35 million annually with the Minnesota Vikings.

Now more than ever before, professional athletes are engrained in the fashion world. Last week in Paris was no different. One of the athletes that we saw popping out at a bunch of events was Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

The problem is that the Bengals can, and perhaps will, squat on Chase at $21.8 million for 2025, the franchise tag for 2026, and possibly a second tag for 2027. He could let it play out and hit the market in 2028. But that’s three seasons away. He’ll be 28. And he’ll bear the risk of a significant injury impacting his value.
