Reactions: Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins contract extensions done
admin_news
Cincinnati Bengals fans read multiple reports last week that the team was close to announcing contract extensions with star receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase.
After news late Sunday night confirmed by The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway, many will wake up Monday morning to find out that Chase's new four-year deal makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, and Higgins' new four-year deal means he will not play on the franchise tag after all.
Conway added that the team's plan all along was to announce the deals simultaneously.
Social media reactions to the enormous new deals for Chase and Higgins, including from the Bengals' official Twitter/X account:

The @Enquirer can confirm that the Bengals and Ja'Marr Chase/ Tee Higgins agreed to the terms of new contracts on Sunday.
NFL agent Rocky Arceneaux negotiated the contracts for both and the plan was always to announce both contracts together
