Pulling up Chase news, it says Bengals needed to settle Higgins situation, and now will resign Chase long term. They don't want him to go free agent in March, so news says it is not a matter of If, but When Chase is signed long term this Summer.
However once Bengals resign Chase, that is a ton of cap money on Burrow, Chase and Higgins. Not sure what moves front office may have to make to get under the cap.
GO BENGALS 2024 and Back To The Super Bowl. I'll be glad when this contract stuff over and they can focus on playing a very tough AFC North.
Free agency is not an issue for Chase. He is under contract through 2025 as 5th year option was already exercised. However the Bengals should want to extend him this year rather than next as the price will only get higher. Now that Higgins situation is solidified, they should be able to get it done before the start of the regular season.
